It's warming up very quickly in Reno, and we are going to have days in the 80's next week. So I had to bring back the cooling setup to life. Husband, the designer of this system, usually does this but this year he's in the midst of his chemo. I was glad I didn't need to ask for help.
The tanks gravity feed the wanter into the swamp cooler.

I planted a Fuyu persimmon tree three years ago. It was then two to three year old. This year for the first time it bore fruit. Many of them. I was overjoyed when I saw them in May, but sadly they never got bigger. I finally decided to take them off the tree this morning, and there are about two hundred... I'm pretty sure that I needed to take many of them off the tree when they started to form. They still taste great though! Snack size!

Despite my efforts, my garden didn't produce well this year, EXCEPT my peach tree! I will be busy baking pies today.
Funny thing is that I have many more fruit trees I purchased from a local nursery and an online business called "Fast Growing Trees," but they are not producing at all after years in the ground. This peach tree came from my ex-neighbor as a small potted tree only about three years ago. Neighbors rock, "Fast Growing Trees" totally don't.

Guess what this is...
I planted the seeds from a persimmon I ate last fall. There's an old Japanese saying: Three years for peach and chestnut, eight for persimmon. Let's see about that, shall we?
