PICKING BEURRE BOSC PEARS BEFORE THE LORIKEETS EAT THEM

We always pick our pears when the birds tell us they are ready. It takes a few weeks for them to ripen inside. As well as eating them fresh, I make pear compote with cinnamon and vanilla to have with Jalna yoghurt for breakfast. The crop is much better this year because of the rain and because I fertilised the trees last year.
