And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Pomegranate Harvest in years past. Got three trees now, one in the ground and two yet to plant this spring. Hopefully see this again in a couple of years.
I juiced them. That's from my prior place. I still have to get the ones here growing and producing, but that's just a matter of time. They do super well in hot, Mediterranean environments.
A fruit that is a lot of work but worth it.
ReplyDeleteYeah. A lot of work. I have 2 trees and I generally just let em drop.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I could take the time to check out how to process them LOL
DeleteThey sell for $1.50-$2.00 a pop in the southwest Grocery stores--They are a Super Food
DeletePomegranate and persimmons are two fruits I just don’t get.
ReplyDeleteCould not figure out where our pomagranetes were disappearing to…then one night I heard chomping and flashlighted a very happy possum in the tree.
ReplyDeletebust out the red ryder and try your patience
DeleteHad a Scottish Terrier that liked to eat our pomegranates.
ReplyDeletemusta been a Pommie at heart
DeleteMaking a gallon of wine? Bet that tastes pretty darn good after it ages. From your own trees too.
ReplyDeleteI recently made some crabapple wine. It was swillable. - Snakepit
