A new journey into homesteading "pic heavy"

Biggest persimmons I ever seen. What variety of persimmon tree is that? American persimmon? I don't think so?

And I was wondering how come you got lemons and mine froze.

planted a peach tree and 1 year later DH dropped an 80' tall tree on it and snapped it off about a foot up; then it started to grow again and a year later he mowed it down.

Was he trying to tell you something?

Biggest persimmons I ever seen.

I agree. That's what made me think lemons...kinda oblong. Here our persimmons are not so yellow and are rounder/flater.

persimmons are in. not bad for the first harvest. maybe next year will be even better.

looking for a jelly or preserve recipe now.

our small pantry is full.it only holds 150 or so jars. the closet is the overflo and it's getting cramped. I'm hopeful to get some more potatoes and chicken canned this weekend...mybe some rabbit. oh and I finally got those rabbits in the freezer! rabbit season is here and I have not even bred yet. I need to get on top of that.

That's awesome - ya'll have done so well with your garden/canning/stocking up this year!

 

[baymule]

That is a wonderful problem to have, space to store your canned goods. Y’all have done awesome this year.

Let's all go to his house for the winter -- we can ALL EAT WELL!!!!

What a great job!!!!! You and family really worked for that.

And soon it will be hunting season. You normally get venison.
