Pear Season

Pears are ripening now! Along with apples & grapes-- tomatoes still green mostly, but we're heading into a bit of heat so maybe they'll turn soon.

A friend helped us to try to prune it properly this spring-- maybe that's part of it-- plus its maturity, no doubt, and agreeable weather conditions...
