usually the landscapers grab them before they are ripe, and fry them! LOL.
Hi Greeneyes.
We love hyacinths and lilacs too.
I am already ready for Spring.
I posted an important article on a thread earlier today that I feel the Garden Thread would enjoy:

Scientists Discover First ‘Virological Penicillin’(Honeysuckle)
Chinese researchers have discovered what they say is the first ‘virological penicillin’ – MIR2911, a molecule found naturally in a Chinese herb called honeysuckle. This is the Japanese Honeysuckle that grows wild around here.
Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) is a well-known Chinese herb. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has been used to effectively treat influenza infection for centuries.
We do have a couple of loads stacked between trees. I love a fire in the fireplace, but now that the kids are gone, we usually just put on some extra layers instead of making a fire.
Still it’s there if we need it.
That’s the thing: in winter, not only is firewood an important resource in an emergency, but it is also a way of making the season easier to endure.
I prefer to think that no one on the garden thread is common. We are all special.LOL
Fried green bananas????LOL
Thanks for the info and link.
Monday, the tiller gets hauled to the shop for who knows how long. We're heading in that direction to get a load of firewood, so it'll be a double-duty trip.
Finally getting an average of 6 eggs a day, which explains why I'm making egg foo yung for dinner when I finish this post.
One of our 3 apricot trees turned red at the top only, while the other 2 went yellow. Yes, I have to repair the fence, thanks to an antlered rat.
Had my first persimmon of the year this afternoon, That’s some good eating!
Got a 4 year old tree I hope bears next year.
Hazelnuts are all in.
Fruit and nut trees are great plantings.
youtube the who
Plantains!
Delicioso!
WOW… I can’t believe it’s Friday already. Lots of rain here so no garden activity. Still have to plant more garlic AND a cover crop on the rest of the soil and dig the remaining potatoes.
What a world of difference then the PNW. Appreciate the photos...
Now I don’t have a clue how I did a double post but there it is???
Sounds like me. I still have a small patch of taters to dig. Will also be planting some cover crops. Since we have had no frost, I can’t plant winter wheat, so it’ll be rye and hairy vetch this year.
I have one more type of garlic to plant also. Just heard the forecast and we are going to have some record highs for a few more days, so I’m letting the peppers continue for a while.
The older I get, the faster go the days.LOL
I love the taste of a ripe persimmon. It has a unique taste. Our wild natural fruits and nuts do well. Not so much for the fruit and nut trees we have planted.
I am thinking we should order some paw paw trees, because they are native plants, and we might actually get some produce from them.
Nice picture. Egg Foo Yong sounds good, but I love quiche, custard, and vanilla pudding more.
Temperatures have been up and down and I have covered up the eggplant with a plastic tent every night. The size and shape has not changed for a couple of days so it might be ready for picking. Like with tomatoes, if the stem breaks easily when twisting it, does that mean it is ready?
I don’t know about eggplants, but it sounds plausible.
