I am envious at your peach fruits set this year. I have very small amount of peaches on the trees due to the weather in the spring.
I had Reliance peach before and it ripens end of July/early Aug in Chicagoland (zone5). I am surprised to hear that yours ( in zone7) takes another month. You sure you have Reliance?
It came as a Reliance but will find out more soon. This tree was a gift and is third year in ground. Last year it did set few fruits but I was travelling and lost those . I am guessing a month after looking peach size and stage . It may be a mislabeled and could be another peach.

@Naeem … does your reliance have pretty showey light pink blossoms ? Or are they not showey at all and more on the dark pink reddish side ?
I had a Reliance… got from Starks 2003… it had beautiful light pink extra showey blossoms…
See below.
But I found out after joining here that it was not reliance… reliance does not have nice pretty showey blossoms like that.
Mine was like reliance in several ways… when it fruited what the fruit looked like… but the blossoms said nope… not reliance.

First Reliance peaches! Their fragrance called to me when I leaned over to rewrite a label.
Osage blackberries continue to produce and are really sweet. Triple crown just coming in. My new Kiowa produced just a few.

Stark sent me wrong peach tree before. I bought July Elberta which was described as showey flowers on its website when I bought it. Two to three years later. When it bloomed, no, not showey flower at all. It is supposed to ripen in July, but mine ripens in mid to late August. What could I do or say, after the tree had been planted and started to bloom. I am since very cautiously of ordering any trees from it.
My Reliance was from Stark too on the same order. It has none showey bloom and the description of fruits size, mature time (adjusted to my local date) matches actual fruit. Stark sent me one correct tree and one wrong tree

Santa Rosa and Satsuma plums almost ending . These are little hard but sweet birds are going after them very hard so one more harvest after this and plums season will be over for me.

Or, they all ripen at once! Squash are so rewarding, they give and give some more!

Beautiful Redhaven. I haven’t been able to get a decent Red Haven peach. This year the sprays kept them all looking good until they started to ripen and the birds, minor cracking and mostly the sap eating beetles damaged most of them. The few good ones were only slightly better than bland due to the clouds and rainy weather.

Sadly my story also, except you can add rot after those things happen. Was going so great for cherry and apricot.
