Harvest Monday 8.19.13

It's Harvest time, again!

I only have one (not so) little thing to show for harvest Monday this week. One humongous Pomegranate. I still haven't figured out when the best time to harvest these is. The fruit was still good, but I'm quite sure I waited past it's prime. It was still delicious. I'd like to get another softer seeded variety as spitting the seeds gets a little annoying after awhile and I love eating them rather than just using them as juice.
It gave me an entire bowl full of arils. They are not dark red but clear and pink on one end. Quite beautiful in their own right, really. Tasty, too!

Not much else is developing right now. The heavy rains destroyed the first batch of tomatoes that I had chitted and potted up. I'm crossing my fingers this second batch holds on because time is running out for them. I won't be able to start another round by seed and I'll be stuck purchasing them if I want production while it's still hot out.

See you soon!

  3. Wow, you can grow pomegranates! The only time I see them growing is in a greenhouse at the arboretum. I'll bet it tasted good.

  5. A pomegranate! Home grown, amazing! I bet it was wonderful and in the future you'll know exactly when the best time is to harvest them.

  6. At least you have a pomegranate for your harvest! I don't think I have even tasted one and I don't think we can grow them here. Enjoy yours and hopefully your tomatoes will come along! Nancy

  8. I too would love to have a pomegranate tree, but it would not survive in our area.
