All this fruit picking has made me want to grow more though :) I think people should do that instead of buying food that's travelled 100s miles up and down the motor way.
Have you got quite a bit of land then, sounds like you've got a mini-orchard?
Cats laying eggs? Possibly the best idea ever? :-P
As for the pear tree I think it's struggling at the moment: it's not producing much. :-/
We could use a pear tree, I love pears, we use to have a greenhouse but we havent grown anything in it for many years, we use to grow some herbs but then that didnt work too well. We have a neighbour who grows lots and lots of things, they tend to share their food with us :D
We've also picked up some chickens recently, so we've got quite a few eggs. :-)
We also have 2 small fig trees, I noticed two figs that were ready for picking.
There are also lots of areas near our house where there's lots of blackberries so we went and picked some. I remember when I was a kid, our family and another two close families would all go with tubs and pick 100s of wild blackberries. It was fun.
We also had two plum trees, one was a weird kind that we never ate, they seemed to be green plums that were very sour, so we never picked them, That tree was cut down last year, then we had a big plum tree which unfortunately during the last strong winds that hit the UK it lost most of it huge branches and so we'll be cutting that down too. Shame as it had 100s of juicy plums ready for picking, I think my mum managed to pick a few.
Dont think we are some garden nuts, our gardens are over grown, well one of them is, but that doesnt matter to trees. We do have some grape vines that go up the house. We use to have them all around the house, but my mum got fed up with all the work of looking after them and cut them all down without even talking to my dad about it. Luckily she missed one and it still there but we dont really pick them :) Apart from that the only other thing that grows wild that we pick from our gardens is mint and rhubarb.
