Hey guys! (Finally figured out the pictures...ugh...)
I have a tree growing in my backyard and I was told that it's a pear tree, however, it's never born fruit. I was wondering if anyone could confirm that it is, in fact, a pear tree? Perhaps it needs a friend to pollinate it? I've taken a picture of the bark, the blossoms and the whole tree.

Here is a picture of my backyard! That's my shepherd/husky, Poe. In the front are 2 raspberry bushes, tons of clover and lettuce. And just behind is my black currant! The second half is a raised bed a la
Sepp Holzer. I put a bunch of
compost in between 2 beds and planted pumpkins, peas, borage, tomatoes, leeks, asparagus and peppers. Except for the asparagus, none of them have sprouted. (My dog also dug it up so I had to put it back together as best I could.)
In the pot is an avocado tree that I started growing in January. I did it the ol' fashioned way and let it rot for a few weeks on my counter. I cut it open and it was moudly inside. I buried in the pot and watered it every once in a while. Sometimes I watered it with diluted vinegar because I heard avocado's like acidic soil. After I thought for sure nothing was happening, last week I saw 2 little sprouts! Now I've moved it outside for lots of sunlight!
In order to make the raspberry patch, I needed to move some patio stones. I had my husband and a friend smash them up and I built a herb spiral. I planted mostly everything from seed and I'm starting to see herb sprouts!
