the key to pears is smelling the pear butthole. put the bottom of the pear right up to your nose and sniff. if it smells strongly of pear, it is ripe, buy it. if you don’t smell anything it is not ripe yet, keep huffing pear asses until you find a good one.

we have a peach tree and an apple tree. both are mediocre for their kind, but the peaches are way better than the apples (as is appropriate) it may be the case that i've Never Really Had A Good Apple i guess, but i doubt it. i've been to a lot of gardens and farms

i think there are some pretty great apples tbh tho taste is obviously subjective. ime the best apples are crazy fragrant too, like pull a couple out and suddenly the kitchen is redolent with apple smell before you even cut into one anyway do you cook with them? i think even mediocre apples and peaches often taste pretty good in something

my parents are all in on having a wild yard, it owns. its pretty small, like 7k sqft incl the house, but iirc 3 apple trees (1 is belle de boscoop, 2 is some heritage best for baking, 3rd i forgot but it has a name), 1 pear (prob heritage), 2 cherry (one dying but the new one has been taking over big time), 1 hazel nut, 1 fig (rarely in season in dk), blackberries, strawberries, plus herbs and flowers, gotta be at least 50 kinds growing there and you can tell cause insects and birds love it. no matter the time of your you have so many sounds and calls  e: oh poo poo also grape vines, that they make some very middling but free wine from lol e: tomatos, cucumbers, chilis, onions, leeks, elderberry Carthag Tuek fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Oct 13, 2023 |

i hate our fig tree. it's leaning against the planter wall halfass held up by twine and will definitely ruin it. i think ive finally convinced ms j that it'd be better to take it out and put a not-lovely tree in its place (im rooting for avocado) it makes so many figs. the flies love them. we do not really eat figs, so while i do like the birds a lot, there's not really a lot of upside to this tree. plus, as mentioned, it's going to fall over and take the planter wall with it.

oh if it werent about to fall over i'd be happy with it. if you have any ideas on what to do with the figs please lmk. i've eaten a couple and they're just kinda whatever - not very flavorful. idk if we have a lame varietal or if that's just how figs are. like i also don't really eat the apples very much but i like the tree a lot. the orange tree is my bff, and the lemon tree will also be my bff when it grows a bit

we had a fig tree by our driveway in California and it was fun to pick and eat them. less fun to track fig goop into the house from the ones crushed on the driveway, though figs are good grilled, in case that helps
