I think that the planting partners for my pear were Concorde and Conference and I planted one or t'other :) I'm hoping that my newly planted crab apple in close proximity to the pears will join them in blossoming next year.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-69965156462509705682014-05-02T13:33:35.079+01:002014-05-02T13:33:35.079+01:00We will have to compare notes later this year Paul...We will have to compare notes later this year Pauline :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-42702438076116093132014-05-02T13:32:18.526+01:002014-05-02T13:32:18.526+01:00Now I don't particularly like the sound of tha...Now I don't particularly like the sound of that saying Chloris as especially having no heirs we want our pears here and now.

That would be amazing. Pears and plums are on my list if we have space in our next garden so I'll be interested to follow your pear progress. ;) It is a frantic time of year. I'm just about managing to keep up with everything. Your bit about trying to hold back the plants made me smile. I sympathise as I spent much of last year trying to do that and find myself doing it again. I somehow don't imagine Chelsea growers using their downstairs toilet to keep flowers cool. ;) That's the room, I'm not actually plunging them down the toilet pan. ;0 Good luck with the plant sale. wellywomanhttp://www.wellywoman.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-38053784860915890872014-04-25T10:01:35.893+01:002014-04-25T10:01:35.893+01:00Hope you get some pears Anna!

I was interested to hear about your Concorde as I have had one as a 'pillar' for 2 years but there is no sign of any blossom yet; they are meant to be self-fertile so mine doesn't need a pearfriend once it does produce flowers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-74908441909338838382014-04-23T19:52:23.392+01:002014-04-23T19:52:23.392+01:00I love pear blossom, and we have lots of wild pear...I love pear blossom, and we have lots of wild pears on the hills around us, just going over.

Plants are more forgiving than we think. Jays are a big problem in our orchard, always picking the fruit. I've planted lots of tomatoes, chilli, aubergines...exciting varieties, so I look forward to eating them (no jays in the potager and greenhouse thank God!) :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-48398034193497225972014-04-23T08:04:17.261+01:002014-04-23T08:04:17.261+01:00Great that your pears survived their move, don'...Great that your pears survived their move, don't theyhave exact pollinating partners like apples?

I also have two pear trees, just Minarette ones, but even so, they usually produce a few pears for me.

Very glad the move was successful and that your two seem to be being more friendly. Maybe its like women who live together syncing their cycles?! I am aching too, lots of pruning and weeding, hoping to get more peas and broad beans in tomorrow. Good luck stalling your plants, maybe some harsh words?

It sounds like you've had a busy Easter on the plot. Unfortunately, I've had a bit of a busy weekend doing other things, start of the cricket season, moving Daniel back to uni yesterday, but I've managed a bit of gardening today.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
