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.

The whole thread from last year can be viewed here - you did
respond to her at the time.

Anne as a family historian, you surprise me. I never wrote that
David didn't respond to me.

If you put your critical reading hat on, you should be wondering why
David is being such a dill given that he's admitted to asking the
quesion last year.


No but he said he had missed your posting...and what has being a
family historian got to do with it ?

Settle down you lot. Why are you disputing? My memory is faulty. I repeat
myself. And say the same thing over again. And sometimes ask questions more
than once. And forget why I am I typing. What is this all about again?

I'm not sure what caused such an agressive response either to your
original post or to my reply.

Who knows ?

I hope you manage to harvest your pears at the right time this year -
and if you do get it right, write it down so you don't have to ask again
next year ;)
