I said elsewhere that I don't really like gardening but I realised today that I do like pruning!! In other news the MOTH's persimmon tree has excelled itself this year and he has 5 persimmons - a personal best for the tree who has only managed two other fruits to date after 14years!! It deserved a photo!!  Untitled by Willow Images, on Flickr |

PS - my sone made that cutting board under the fruit during his carpentry apprenticeship and it's been in use every since (he's at least 5 years out)

Those are beautiful persimmon's....do you know that for persimmon's to be very sweet you should ley the frost hit them at least 2, 3 times or more. They should look almost bad to be really good. hdsk

Maybe thats our problem, South Australia has a pretty mild climate and whilst some of the country areas can get some decent frosts, we don't see it much here in the "burbs"
