front yard harvest

While at home, it was the perfect timing to pick some fruits. The parents and I went out and picked most of the plums and asian pears. Some of the Bartlett and Bosc pears were ready as well. The apples will be ready near the end of next month. All the melons have been ready - I sent dad some melon seeds last summer. I think a couple of them were called Santa Claus melon, Christmas melon and I don't even remember the rest but he planted all including cantelope, honeydew and watermelon... what a feast!
