Nashi pear crop 2017


One for me and one for the husband. Weighing in at just under 1 pound (15 ounces of pear goodness), they were perfectly sweet and delicious. This year wasn't big on fruit or vegetables due to the excessive heat, but I think we did okay considering the drought-like conditions that affected much of central and southern Italy. With any luck, 2018 won't be a repeat of this very hot summer.

Today's high: 17°C / 63°F

I love that they turned out sweet even though they weren't very large. Hope next year's harvest will be more bountiful!

I read somewhere that fruit trees will 'take a break' if during one year there were a ton of flowers/fruits. Could be the case for the nashi since it had choke blooms/fruit (that got trashed by hail!) last year.
