SelMorning in the #gardenofsel
Today I'm going to be drying my persimmons and attending a launch for the local indie.
Store bought. Almost no smell. Probably not much taste, although certainly will be sweet.
Growing my own fruit has really spoiled me for flavour.

Have a moment of contemplation before you plunge into the world again, okay?
Donut peaches were not as successful as hoped this year. We got eight to full size and half had to get bits cut out of them - ants, mostly.
I'm still not sure if it needs a colder winter: the cherry almost certainly does (plans are in motion to get more low-chill varieties) and the apricots might (😭😭😭😭😭) but the two peaches in the front produce like nobody's business. (okay, well, the white peach does, maybe the golden one needs more chill hours too)
The corn in the other hand is wildly WILDLY successful. This is Silvermine, an heirloom corn. I'll save at least one cob for seeds next year cause they're so good!
