There was no question about the best harvest in my garden this year. The mild spring resulted in our most successful pomegranate harvest since the tree began bearing five years ago. We estimate at least 300 and possibly more of these luscious ruby red fruit. No wonder this fruit is so revered by the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures.Wednesday, October 7, 2009

ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo. Good luck with the contest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely shot. I love the way the background brings out the wonderfully rosy poms. I just want to dive into one of them and swim around. Again, sure glad I'm not judging. Holt has his work cut out for him.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous! Made my mouth water, too. After seeing your and Texas Deb's entries, I'm doubting if I should even try to enter this one. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYummm...I want to grow pomegranates, too! Delicious photo.
ReplyDeleteHi RR.
ReplyDeleteGreat mouth puckering photo for the competition. When we were kids we used to use sewing needles to pick the individual fruit seeds away from the sour tasting membrane. My sister and I used to take great delight picking at this fruit for ages while we watched old Norman Wisdom movies, savoring the small edible rubies. It is funny how memories can be associated to certain foods / fruit.
Good luck with your bounty in the contest RR.
ESP.

ESP- I used to do the pin thing too. Now I can open them and get to those seeds a lot faster. Can you believe we had such an exotic fruit. Just like the cocoanut it was a real treat. They are really yummy.
You certainly do have an abundant harvest. Hope your picture wins!
