I know because I planted them. This was my farm - I named it Skyview when I designed and built the house, barn and pastures. I follow your website and blog after my neighbor told me about you. I am thrilled that you love the place so much. I am so glad you are now living there and that your animals are thriving. I can't tell you how much it means to see how my gardens are maturing and the barn being enjoyed by all the creatures. You keep the house looking so beautiful and your life is rich and full of love and good times. I know how much work a farm can be, but you handle it with style. Thank you for letting me tag along on your adventures! Susan – Margaret & Edwina are right – they are Anjou and Bartlett. I know because I planted them.

If you leave them on the tree until they seem ripe, the center will be brown & mealy (yuck). At our house the pears & blackberries ripen at the same time, and they make a heavenly combo (pie anyone?)--kind of like strawberries & rhubarb.

The second looks like comice. I think most pears are picked green, which prevents the grittiness pears can develop. So, pick when just turning yellow-green. Lovely pears.
