My Pear Haul :marseymandela:

Probably the best yield I have ever had and it was super dry this summer on top of it. Grass looks green now because we have had a couple inches of rain the last week so stuff livened back up.

That is such a nice tree, I'm so jealous. I wish I lived somewhere where you could grow decent fruits, all I do right now are annual vegetables

This is like the first time in three years that it actually filled out well. The last few years we would always get a hard freeze like the first week of May that would kill the flowers off.

I just live on one acre on the edge of town, the field behind me is the neighbors, but my parent's home farm is a mile away and it is 240 acres with another 120 acres on the other side of the road.

half a hectar is pretty nice!

are they farmers? land is pretty expensive here, 120 hectars would be huge even for most farmers

Yeah they farm (I do too). Ground is expensive here too but the bulk of the ground has been passed down through the generations. I also own a 80 acre field and another 40 acre field a few miles away.

You reckon, of all those years of that pear tree there, someone along the way had taken a pear from that tree and shoved it up their butt?

I don't really do much with them myself, my mom maskes a pie or two out of them, but I have a couple neighbors that will pick some to can and another neighbor picks some to feed her chickens.

The best use for pears is making pear wine (the real stuff, not the homemade shit that food blogs talk about).

Yeah I got lucky I didn't lose any during the derecho in 2020 because the winds were 80 mph sustained for like 20 minutes at my house.

Luckily I am surrounded by hills on pretty much every side so I think they helped block the wind.

Chudding everyone for a joke wasn't OK.

I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that chudding everyone for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this site is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and radical centrism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or sneeding. Whatever. I love drama and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this site is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find myself chudded for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
