Questions & Answers about Le pesche sono buone: sono di stagione.
Why does pesche have an "h" in it?
Why is the adjective buone instead of buoni?
Why do we use di instead of in for "in season"?
Prepositions rarely translate perfectly word-for-word. In Italian, the fixed expression for produce being "in season" is di stagione (literally "of season"). It is best to memorize this as a set phrase.
Where is the word for "they" in the second half of the sentence?
Italian drops subject pronouns like loro (they) most of the time. The verb sono means "they are" (or "I am"), and the context of talking about peaches makes it perfectly clear that it means "they are" here.
