Huh?

Hello all, Justin here.  I'll begin with this disclaimer: this has nothing to do with the boys.  So if you've come to see cute baby pictures, you'll have to wait for the next post.  Sorry.

"Tiny, yellow, pear shaped fruit..."  That's the description on the tag of a tomato plant in our garden, appropriately called a Yellow Pear Tomato.  Needless to say I'm a little confused.  Let me illustrate:

Exhibit A: Our "neighbors" have a yellow pear plant; the tiny, yellow, pear shaped fruit on the left is from their plant (don't worry, they gave me permission to pick some).  On the right we have a tomato from our plant.

Exhibit B: The latest harvest from our supposed yellow pear plant.  I don't know about you, but there doesn't seem to be much tiny, yellow, or pear shaped to speak of.  They look quite big (the smallest ones are probably the size of golf balls), a little more orange than yellow, and very round.  It very much has me scratching my head.

I'm just curious if anyone knows what's going on.  The only gardner that I know who reads this blog is Jack, and if any of the rest of you also happen to be garden savvy green thumbs, please share any insights.  I've pretty much accepted the fact that if I want any true yellow pears, I'm gonna have to get some from our garden neighbors.  Don't get me wrong, they're still pretty good - they're just not "tiny, yellow, pear shaped fruit". 

And, so as not to disappoint, here's a cute baby picture to reward you for reading this post.

You're welcome.
