This corner of pears have been picked for the season. A lot of fungus going on so I had a bit of rotting fruit on the trees and ground. Made it more difficult to pick since the yellow jackets,hornets and bees also like all the fruit…we got along kindly as long as I didn’t disturb too much.

It’s time to get mowing! We have had a lot of rain. We have a lot of blossoms now we just need it to stay warm enough for pollinators!

We cleared more of our pruned trees to burn pile. We now have tight clusters on a lot of trees!
