***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[miohippus]

miohippus Is the pear tree a dwarf or a standard? The fruit looks like a "Moonglow" by shape and coloring. They usually ripen in August. The texture is very smooth or soft. It could be one of the parent stock in developing the graft.
If the texture is a little grainy, it could be the older variety named "Courtland". That variety was planted on many old farms because it was so reliable. Fruit ripens in September and October. Stores and cans well.

It is taller than me so i'm going to say standard. they are still hard but i bit into one and it was sweet but a little starchy also grainy,

Quote: I pick them when they're sweet and put them in the refrigerator for a week or two and that softens them up. Enjoy!

Same as Red sex links...try Cackle Hatchery. Or Ideal.
Atwoods might order for you...they are running their chick sales this time of year.

Just finished hatching 19 quail. And moved 20 eggs to the hatcher.

Yes, and if you and your family don't like them I'm sure your birds will.
I brought a bushel of apples and a bushel of zucchini from MI, both more than my family could eat. The zucchini is the most popular.
