my award winning pears!

i entered my pears in the state fair this year and won two first place ribbons and a fourth place.

my summercrisp pears won first place


my patten pears won first place


my luscious pears won fourth place


i was unable to enter the parker pears this year. they had trouble with russetting, and i lost too many after i thinned them. there werent any left on the tree when it was time to enter them.

these are the pears on display at the minnesota state fair. i drew around the ones that were mine.
