Harvest Monday 9.22.14

Wowsa. I just can't believe that another week has gone by.

This weeks harvest features the first POMEGRANATE of the fall season.


WHOOT! Let's not exaggerate just how happy I am about this.... This bowl of arils?


Was gone in about 3 minutes flat. And it's deceiving this is a rather deep bowl and those arils are the size of my thumbnail (and I have long nails right now. LOL)

I also would like to brag on the fact that I can now get all those arils out of a pomegranate in less than 5 minutes... Got it down to 4.5 this weekend. That is not bad. Actually, I'm downright proud of that. I could have been a tiny bit quicker, but I really don't like the pithy, icky. So I took my time.

That's really all I have. I did eat some basil and some rosemary but otherwise my garden is quiet. My peppers are blooming again so I expect another rush of those in a few weeks. 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
See you Soon!

  1. I'm not sure I've ever had a pomegranate. You make me wish I could have one though.

    1. I know the grocers get them for a few months a year. Try one. Sweet, slightly tart and all pop. I love how the little suckers just burst when you eat them. :-)

  2. Lucky you! I just purchased a few pomegranates at the store the other day - I think I paid almost $2 each - but I do love them, so I bit the bullet. Can't wait till December when they are half the price.

    1. Yikes. I haven't purchased a pom in a few years here, but now I've forgotten the taste of the Pom wonderful and might buy one just to see again. LOL.

  3. Oh you're killin' me! My pomegranates are tiny babies, and I doubt I'll see fruit for a couple of years.

    1. Hang in there. You will be SHOCKED at just how fast your poms produce. I was.

  4. I saw a video on how to do that. Tried it and made a big mess. I just stick to my daily PomX capsule. Certainly not as tasty.

    1. LOL Dave it took me a whole lotta trying to get it right! (And a whole lotta cleaning afterwards)
