Saberpoint: Glorious Fall

Thursday, October 27, 2011

I love the fall season. The persimmons on my backyard tree are ripe and almost ready to pick. They need another couple of weeks or so.

Always On Watch said...: You have a persimmon tree? I'm jealous!

All my life, I've LOVED persimmons.

When I was growing up, there was a wild persimmon tree in the woods belonging to our neighbor. He didn't like persimmons, so I had permission to harvest. But I always had to beat the opossums to the persimmons, which fell on the ground after the first hard frost.; 10/28/2011 9:31 AM

You can buy persimmons at Safeway, but they cost around $1.45 each.; 10/28/2011 9:55 AM
