Pears will ripen off the tree but is it necessary? How do you know
the best time to pick them? What happens if you leave them too
long?

Didn't you ask this question last year?

Yes, didn't get a sensible answer.


I recall answering such a question last year and going back and
forth about how to pick the right time to pick them.

And yes, they do need to be picked and ripened off the tree. The
trick is how to do that. I gave a fulsome answer on that in last
year's response but it's just too hot to go through the same thing
all over again.

Sorry I must have missed it.

Well that's clear. Anyone who had anything to say on the topic last
year knows not to bother again.

The heat is making you grumpy.

What is making me grumpy is that you asked the question last year, you were
given the answer then when you asked the question and you seemingly didn't
believe the answer given.

If you think you didn't get a 'sensible answer' last year and you now get a
similar sort of response from new people this year who say similar things to
what I told you last year, then you should get off your arse and do some
research for yourself rather than asking here.

I'm grumpy alright, but the heat has nothing to do with it. The grumpiness
is because I'm seeing stupidity from someone who I don't normally rate as
being stupid.

Perhaps the heat causes stupidity.
