Looks like a beefsteak Munty?

All those pears, you lucky man.  Our little 4 year old pear has never done anything, and its the first year the apple has had some apples on it.  I had one plum from 2 x 4 year trees this year

Glad the toms I sent worked out for you. I just ate my first ripe German Gold today and it was heaven, not too juicy and quite sweet. Mine was about 1 lb and I ate the whole thing.  I have some tom pix to send but am having server problems at the moment.

wish my toms were looking like those. very poor crop in the greenhouse so far. pretty tasteless

Saying that, my onions have been superb this year.. had maybe 3 or 4 bolt and the rest are currently hanging in the garage.. Even the red ones have been great.
