LAST PEARS OF THE SEASON

 Our pears haven't been very good this year.

The curtailment of watering due to the drought in our area and the terrible air quality due to all the wildfires has given us such a poor looking crop.

I picked what was left after the squirrels have had their buffet.

The pears are all hard as a rock and rough skinned.

Going to try to ripen some and hope for something to rescue from them.

TO BE CONTINUED



Maybe I will call this one    Still Life in a Bucket   ....

Hope you can salvage some of your crop!

They look good. Is the lack of moisture keeping the fruit hard? I have noticed around here as well, the fruit is not very good.

this is our 3rd year of poor fruit and hard and small for avocado. drought for years and now rain for weeks, has ruined our food supply.
