storage

For peaches that are still quite firm, put them in a paper bag—it will capture the ethylene gas they give off naturally and speed up the timeline of their perfection. To speed up the process, you can add a banana—the riper the better—or an apple or pear in the bag. These fruits give off even more ethylene than peaches and will coax the peaches along.
When you’ve kept peaches on the counter or used the paper bag method, once any given peach is ripe, be sure to eat it or move it to the fridge until you’re ready to eat it so it doesn’t go from ripe to rotten.
In all cases, peaches need to breathe, so paper bags or plastic bags with holes cut in them are your best bet if you want to enclose them in some fashion. Just remember, the paper bag will push their ripening unless you put it in the fridge.
Mature peaches will continue to ripen after they are picked, so when it comes time to store them, just remember that peaches like best to sit on their shoulders and not touch one another. Try to avoid stacking too many on top of any others. Fully ripe peaches will last for about 3 to 5 days in the fridge.

Peaches start ripening from mid-June and last till the first week of July
