Small spaced out ripening and harvest of pears

Last picking of Golden Boy. They ended up being really good tasting.


Started first picking of two Ayers on top and finishing up picking the Improved Kieffer on bottom.

Nice looking Pears you have. This picture is three week old of my Ayers and are still pretty green and very hard. Now I have to figure out when to pick. Any suggestions since this will be first time I will harvest.

Those are nice looking pears. I picked two of the Ayers that passed the easy lift and break test but I find this method to be good sometimes but I struggle each year with the same problem as to when to pick my pears. I got the Golden Boy right but it will be a couple of weeks before I test the two Ayers pears. Ayers is very good when it is ripened well.
