It’s that time of the year when the green pears change from the William variety to the Packham variety. The William pears ripen up very quickly and change colour from green to yellow when ripe.
The Packham variety are a whole different story. They take much longer to ripen, and don’t change colour. Definitely don’t put them in the fridge or they’ll never ripen.
I’m still reluctant to start doing the local strawberries, the plants in the Yarra Valley were very badly affected by the extreme heat over summer. Those of you who have been buying them at the supermarkets have probably noticed that the quality hasn’t been that great.
