Joy of Pears....



One of the great things about the garden is the three cordon pears next to the greenhouse. They have a pleasing dark bark in the winter, white blossom and attractive leaves. And we have the pears! Unlike the apples where the big tree gives us lots of rather tasteless fruit and the cordons give us one or two apples if we are lucky, the pears do really well. I'm starting to pick them now and after a day or two indoors they are ready for eating and are truly wonderful! Something else I found you can make out of pears...is the second picture of a leaf turning colour..put it through some digital transformations and you have a very pretty picture.
