summercrisp pears

summercrisp pears ripen early!
i need to remember that!

these ripened on the tree and thus rotted a bit. one fell on the ground and was half eaten by ants. i left that one outside.

i saved a bunch of white clover seed from the aisles in my garden. its getting a little out of hand, and got invaded by another weed that i couldnt separate from the clover. i plan to lay down black plastic and just kill everything off. with this seed, i can hopefully reseed once the old stuff and weeds are all killed.

  1. Hi Laura, Wondering if you'd be willing to share some of your pear photos for use in an upcoming University of Minnesota publication on growing fruit in the home garden. Please contact me at my U of MN email and I can tell you more about the project. Thanks so much. Hope to hear from you soon. Emily Tepe (tepe0004 at umn dot edu)
