Farming Question--Peaches

This is the 3rd year and 2nd crop of peaches off my semi-dwarf tree, and the peaches are falling off!

The previous crop, when the first peach fell, it was ripe and colorful and soft, so I just picked them all--all ten of them.

This year there were more like 30, and they aren't the color or softness I'd like, but people who have tried them say they are ripe and sweet.

Should I just pick them all, now? The farmer's market has had peaches for weeks already...

Enough have fallen already to make a pie.
