Three Pinks

[Grub]

Here we have three lovely pinks about a day away from devouring: from left, Polish; Soldacki; Olena Ukrainian.

Just had the Olena Ukrainian and it was truly excellent. Just a lovely fruity taste, with the typical sweet/tangy combination of so many great pinks.

Mind you, blindfolded, I probably couldn't tell the three above apart, though I think Polish probably isn't quite as complex as OU. But it's really a case of splitting hairs and Soldacki is the most productive followed by Polish. So they are all worth growing.

Cheers, Grub.

...he says, oh so casually. I mean, who the heck coldly starts out a sentence with "here we have..." other than a professor type.

And Olena Ukrainian get's pretty big too. I have been watching this baby and today I picked it before rain, birds and fruitfly.

It went 580 grams.

Will be ready in a few days.

That's gorgeous, Grub. Olena sounds like a very nice variety, not sure why I haven't tried it before. 8)

Here, at least, Olena U. is in the top 5 for beautiful fruit.
Only makes top 20 in taste, though, here...hmmm.....

Suze,
Sorry to tease :wink:
It tastes pretty good to me in my patch this season. But it hasn't set fruit in the humidity and heat like Soldacki and Polish.

BTW: Is that a current mug shot as your avatar? Maybe I should dredge up something from the past

Yep, that's me just a few months ago right after I got my hair cut. Pretty grainy shot, I know. Just don't have hardly any pics of myself. I cropped my face out of a pic that someone took at a party using a disposable camera (imagine a bunch of goofy intoxicated folks standing around me). Mainly wanted to see if I could make it into an avatar, was harder than I thought it would be to figure out. Hint: it helps if you make it a .gif, otherwise it's hard to get the file size small enough.

Maybe I should dredge up something from the past.

Maybe you should, grub, maybe you should. No baby pics, though.

Cheers

Edited to add -- oh, and I noticed today that my Kimberlys have buds on them. Hee! Soon now...

[Grub]

Party pics are so dangerous. I normally have a dumb grin and glazed eyes for some reason.

Still loving Kimberly down here. Had a bunch of Russian Reds last night and they are very good. Persey is starting to colour up now.

Will report back as soon as I finish my work
