Hello. I just found your channel. Wonderful! I have started a new orchard on our family 10 acre property / cottage. 2 years ago I planted 15 trees. Last year a few more. This year 13 more. 33 trees in total. Apple, Peach, Apricot, Cherry, Nectarine, Pear and Plum. Looking forward to your content. So much to learn. Had a makeshift garden hose irrigation (with holes drilled in). Now I'm switching to 'normal' irrigation. Using the spiral drip line you teach.
Sounds like your orchard will be wonderful! Fruit trees respond so well to thoughtful, hands-on care. Some people binge on my podcasts to get up to speed!
Ok, I added the names in the show notes! Here they are again: Schweizer Wasserbirne (Swiss Water Pear), Champagner Bratbirne (German Champagne Roasting Pear), Welsche Bratbirne (German Welsh Roasting Pear),Gelbmöstler (Swiss Yellow Möstler Pear),Luxemburger Mostbirne (Luxembourgish Luxembourg Cider Pear), Bayerische Weinbirne (German Bavarian Wine Pear): More info in show notes. Thanks for asking!
Thanks for the shout out Barry

Can you give the names of these antique varieties?
Yes! I’ll put those in the show notes in the next few hours. Thanks for asking!

can asian pears be fermented, I wonder...
I have never tried it, but apparently you can. Just make sure they are fully ripe because the natural sugars will help the fermentation process.
