They are small-I didn't thin the tree, so there are many. And they are sooo good to eat. Perhaps if one of your readers lives in Davis County, they would like to contact me at annie@anniesmainstreetfloral.com if they would like them. Dear Damsel, I have a pear tree–loaded with pears.

Fresh fruit is not! allowed in my flower cooler! The fruit just doesn't know how to keep to itself and leave my flowers alone. My pristine petals become scarlet scofflaws in no time at all.

I just bought 144 pounds of pears to can. I bought 4 boxes of them, and on the box it tells you not only that they are yellow-skinned when ripe, but that they ripen best at 65º to 72º. I keep mine in my pantry, which is kept at 65º. When they are yellow, they are easily blanched and canned. I'm not in a hurry to have my ripen, as I also bought 324lbs of peaches the same day I bough the pears. I'm finishing up canning the peaches, and then I'm working on the pears.
