how can i keep good peaches on my peach trees

[wannagrtgrdn]

Does anybody know what is eating our peaches (oozing puncture wound, followed by brown and mushy flesh at the site of the puncture) and what can I do about them? Im not a huge fan of pesticides, and I wouldnt really know when to spray either. it sound like timing is important. organic options are even better. Still, Im imagining that the reality of growing fruit in Michigan includes some sort of chemical intervention. Let me know if you have any ideas.

We use an orchard spray before the blooms set and after rain - it washes away. I have never had any luck with an organic method for fruit on trees.
