A teaser… a friend sent this pic from the market yesterday!


Mam, I hope you are charging enough! These are over 9.00 a kilo!

I can’t charge the price I would like. I live among non adventurous fruit eaters.

I brought a small bowl of Mirabelles to work this morning. Out of 25 people at the meeting, 5-6 people tried it. That’s it. They loved my home grown watermelons. They know what those were. Some wondered if the orange one was cantaloupe.

Today the Seckel pears. Only about 3 dozen, half runty and gnarly, but I THINK I got them at the right time. Maybe. Last nite I tried the test pear I picked earlier in the week, and it was good.

I note that the squirrels didn’t get into them this year, and now they don’t have the chance. Maybe it was the baffle, but I suspect a really determined squirrel could have jumped it.

I’ve had really no trouble with the squirrels this year. They don’t trouble me, I won’t trouble them.

Good luck, post lots of pics. I am sure you will have much to teach us on some of the different ways they cultivate fruit. I look forward to learning more.

My husbands yearly battle to beat the squirrels has garnered him about 8 cups of wild hazelnuts. He enjoys doing this every fall so he can have some nuts to share with the grandkids at Christmas.
