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 think it IS about how grumpy we all are in the heat :-) (well, i know _i_
am - it's primarily been 40 degrees- to 44 degrees almost every day for
bloody weeks & weeks in my back yard. a cool day is 38. my garden is grumpy
too, consequently).

i can't help you about the nectarines, though. all i can do is whinge.

Well Anne, you've plonked me so you won't see this. But just for the
archives, I'll record here that I left out a paragraph in what I wrote in
response to you.

I went out to move a hose and came back and put in a final para but missed
out the one I'd composed in my head whilst outside. As it is my post in
response to you made no sense whatsoever, so my injunction to put a critical
reading hat on obviously didnt' work either gfor you or for me. And I'm
cross at myself for my own stupidity at posting somethign that doesn't make
sense.

But you gave me a good chuckle at your grumpiness and such a quickfire
Plonking. Must be the season for grumpiness.
