What a lovely pair

Oh all right then, if spelling's more important than funny, I mean pear:)


Or pears even.


Do you remember earlier in the year, after a couple of years of no pears whatsoever I said I would go out into the garden, cotton wool in hand and give the bees a little help this year?


Yep? Might have went a bit over board!


There are at least a half dozen on each branch and the poor tree is straining under the weight.


I see a lot of pear crumbles, pear chutneys, pear jams, pear tarts, and probably upset tummies in our future.

My Little Experiment

Because you just don't know until you try, right?

This is my pear tree




And this is a lovely big bunch of (hopefully) fertilised pear blossoms.




This is an empty brandy bottle (you can tell where I'm going with this can't you).




And this is a lovely big bunch of (hopefully) fertilised pear blossoms trapped inside a brandy bottle.



Hey, so maybe I won't end up with a bottle of pear brandy, but sure where's the harm in trying.
