Move to Italy - I remember a holiday there with my children in a hill village above Firenze, with my children being stuffed with fresh nectarines from their gardens by the neighbouring villagers ..... ahhhhhh!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
But the ones in English shops are small and hard, and they tell you to take them home and they will ripen - but they don't ripen at home, they just get soft - not the same thing at all

It seems you can grow them here providing you give them the right conditions (and I assume live in the south).
