P.S.
Received your book from Oblong. It’s even more beautiful than I thought it would be. It’s an autographed copy and I must comment on your signature……….. Do you have any trouble cashing checks ? (Chuckling at the breakfast table) ?

I planted two quince trees on my last property. They were lovely and gave beautiful fruit the first couple of years. I first baked the fruit whole in the oven until soft. Then peeled and seeded them. I made quince jam with it and it was delicious. Unfortunately, the gophers ate the roots in later years and they both died.
Now I live on much smaller piece of property (5 acres) and I’m planning on planting a few more quince trees. This time I’ll be sure to plant them in root cages and use plenty of Mole Away?
Love the pear recipe btw. Thanks
