by anytime you wanted you mean May through August right? Peaches can be a tricky tree to grow. Depending on how far along it was when you planted it, it could be up to 5 years before you see any fruit. Even then, the first couple of years are gonna have a very low yield.
I would suggest feeding the tree if you havn't done it already. People often overlook this with fruit trees and usually just let them go on their own. It makes a huge difference for the health of the tree.
I had strain of grape vines that took 7 years to produce fruit. They must have heard me swearing at them the 7th year saying if they didn't produce I was going to rip them out of the ground.
