Growing frisbees?

I'm sure that's what Jude wonders right now. I mean, they do look like white Frisbees on a stick, I guess.....



Just for kicks, I removed one the other day - just to see her reaction...haha...Yeah.....She gave me "the eye".

Anyway, it's been a busy weekend for me, and about 50 lbs. of pears were picked from a nice man's tree this morning. He needed his air conditioning repaired, and was glad to get rid of the fruit, as well. Hmm....I'm thinking pear butter this time....



Also, a couple ears of the early sunglow corn was harvested. Due to the recent storm that toppled everything, this will be the extent of it.....



These were picked too, and one was already eaten...it was just "ok"...



In other news, work has begun on the new trellis. Tons of photos are being taken, and I'll definitely have to give the post it's own page on the blog. You're gonna like it, you're really gonna like it. :)

Take care, and happy gardening

I won't be the only one enjoying Pear butter this fall ( if it lasts that long :o)

My melons have really been a mix between just OK to really good. I haven't a clue why some are good and some are not as good.

Ginny - I'm making it right now, and it will be a long night!

Daphne - it is supposed to be in how the gardener waters, but mother nature usually messes things up for me....

Anyone up for a game of ultimate Frisbee or Frisbee golf? ;)

I think I have 500 lbs of pears this year. It was a good year for them!

Kris said...

Sorry about your corn, how did the two ears taste on that variety?

Engineeredgarden said...

Japanese redneck - 500 lbs. ? Wow!

Kris - surprisingly, it was really good.....

Beautiful harvests, EG!

We have those mushrooms here, too. The pop up and almost jump up and bite you if you're not looking for them. They give no warning they're coming, it's just POP and they're there.
