Everything is going Pear-Shaped
Surprise!
It’s the end of the season in the garden, and everything is going pear-shaped!

William’s Pear
We expected the William’s Pear to look like a pear…

Quince
…and Quince looks quite a bit like a pear, but fuzzy…

Butternut Squash

Thank goodness there’s enough of a difference visually to discern what is what. One wonders if this is an autumn predominant shape? Pretty pear-shaped produce prominently prevails.
It seems to be the shape of autumn fruit in our garden at least – the real surprise was the Butternut Squash!
That’s so funny. Everything really does look like a pear.
Love the pear apron.
It was strange that this particular squash wanted to be pear-shaped…perhaps it looked up and admired the fruit on the pear tree above the squash bed…the other squashes look more butternut squashy! We like the apron too!
So interesting! Lots of food for thought….. and that butternut squash is adorable!
Food for thought, ha ha ha! I think it will be tasty too – we will eat it for Thanksgiving dinner!
❤️
Thank you Bodana! Come and pick some!
too cute! so quince look like a fuzzy pear?,,,,I learn something every day
The Quince does look like a fuzzy pear, and it has sclerenchyma cells like pears do, but they don’t taste anything alike!
How interesting – to see the butternut squash and quince look like large pears !! Hitty’s apron is lovely
Thanks very much, we were very amused by the unusual shaped squash…
