I will place a warning ;)<br /><br />I definitely encourage you to start a small garden next year. I will help in exchange for swims! Or cocktails.<br /><br />The pear tree was put in last year and we got a few small pears from it. This year the fruit set is good but, like many fruit trees, was somewhat damaged by the frost we got after the trees bloomed (can't really call it late frost, since it was actually early warm weather!). That said, my neighbours have pears, plums, apples, apricot, cherries etc. They do quite well, just do some research on varieties that are hardy to this area. That's mostly what the nurseries will sell, anyway but it pays to be aware.RuckusButthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760056031442317243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2146995948798827920.post-43604651109611067552012-06-15T11:18:59.632-04:002012-06-15T11:18:59.632-04:00Yeah!

Looking good - well except for the bugs, which you have spared us looking at (for now...)<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />I think I'll try a small garden next year. I'm encouraged to see that you have a pear tree - is it new, or do you get decent pears from it? I'd love some fruit trees - we had lots growing up, but I lived much further SW of here!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.com
