Ganga❗ Breaking News #FromTheGarden ❗
The first pomegranate from the tree.
After much hesitation I picked one I think is ripe.
Isn't it a beauty!
To be cut later today, to confirm.
Also picked today - strawberries (so goddam sweet, shop bought ones just do not compare) and the first quince (juuuust ripe with a lovely aroma - I'll leave the others to ripen up more).

Sad news #FromTheGarden
The lemon verbena in flower that I posted a few days ago dried up almost overnight. It was a shock - so tall this year, over 2m. Beautiful, graceful.
I watered it well when I saw it dried up (it has been in a pot for years and years and years). But today I had to give up and prune it down to the bottom. As I had begun to expect, it is root bound and not draining. It had been so lush I could not see the pot until I pruned it.
I'll pull it out of the pot tomorrow, if I can, and see if it can be rescued. But despite being sad as I have had this plant for a long time, it is not a huge loss as I have another plant (in the ground) and I can take some cuttings from it.
Still, this one was such a beauty.
JillyG@LifeTimeCooking Quinces stay on the tree well as long as bird proof! Mine have been ripening for a while I've picked 2 lots of 20 to process ( jelly, paste and chopped in freezer) have at least twice that on tree!
I had a great strawberry season too pretty much finished now though.
3 pomegranates in bags birds got most 🙂

Wonderdog 🏳️🌈@LifeTimeCooking what a gorgeous fruit!
your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦@LifeTimeCooking i grew a pomegranate tree from seeds when i was little took several tries and years of my mom teaching me to be obsessive about tending to it until we finally got fruit from it. i think about that treet every day… and the lemon tree and the avocado tree and the banana trees. i miss my childhood garden.
Mark Asser@LifeTimeCooking Some of mine got sunburnt during the stupid weather. Not quite ripe yet.
HappyCrow13@LifeTimeCooking I mistook the # as garden of Eden and thought I was reading something from Eve's pov. Got very invested for a minute in this retelling of the whole garden of Eden show down.
