Hi Smasty,
The apples, peaches, apricots, pears and figs have already come and gone. What I didn't get, the birds, squirrels, coons, wasps and possums got. I'm still waiting for the first frost so that I can get my persimmons. I have about twelve trees just loaded down with them. I'll have to be quick, the crows are waiting too. I'll have to wait till the trees grow some more to dehydrate the excess. Right now I have to fight off kids and animals to get what i want.
The biggest harvest i had this year was pear. They were very sweet but hard as a brick.

Hard-as-a-brick, green bartlette pears are one of my MOST favorite things in the whole world. I would probably put them on top, actually. With young coconuts and mangoes and ice cold watermelon right behind. Definitely, a trip to Kirk's next year! I'll work for pears!

Now THAT'S my kind of party!!!
I think that's a great idea!!! We could pick a day late next summer/early fall and all of us could pitch in to "help" Kirk gather his harvest
!!!
Whatcha think, Kirk?????

I can just see it now! A bunch of tents pitched around my pond, a big campfire in the late evening. Everyone with bellies full of fruit, listening to the bullfrogs, treefrogs and rain peepers. Watching the barn swallows dive bombing the pond surface. And a crowd of nosey neighbors wondering what in the worlds going on at that crazy old man's house.
