You'll be inundated with locals offering to help unload your tree. I wish I lived closer and I'd be first in the queue:-)Lucky you having such a bountiful Quince tree. I have adored the special taste,and the versatility of quinces, eversince I first came across them when I was newly married, andwe were fortunate enough to live in a house with avenerable Quince tree growing in the garden. There wasMedlar in the garden also.I now growa Quince and Medlar,however, theyare youngsters, so I have a few seasonstopatiently wait through.

Oh I wish. I have just been in to Wellington to both the city markets. I was looking for quinces to have a first go at making paste using the slow cooker recipe posted on another thread. Is it me or do I sense an opportunity for an enterprising person to come over the hill to the city for a Sunday stall selling the more unusual fruit and vegetables. Why don't a few of you in the Wairarapa get together and bring quinces, nuts, feijoas, medlars, heritage apples etc etc - you may be really surprised at the demand.

I'm supremely fortunate to live in the Abel Tasman National Park area.if there was audio with this post you would hear tui and bellbirds. There are native birds in the birdbath :)

It must be heaven!It certainly looks like a fair slice of wonderful:-)We have tuis back in our garden, thanks to the initiatives of Zealandia. I do all I can to encourage the birds, and our local gang of tuis are dare devilhoons,They are the boy racers of the sky in our area., and it's such fun to watch their antics.No bellbirds though. I'm not sure of their habitat.

I discovered that a local Hospice shop had quinces for the taking yesterday - for a small donation.I love the perfume they give a room so will let them sit in a bowl for a few days.
