I planted several pomegranate trees in my yard when I bought my house three years ago. At long last, one of them finally gave me a fruit. I thought about making a gourmet fancy-pants meal with pomegranate seeds elegantly sprinkled on the plate, but lust won out and I ended up eating the entire fruit plain, straight from my sticky red fingers. It was magnificent.
How lucky you are to have pomegranate trees, and a fruit-producing one at that! That is also my favorite way to eat pomegranate jewels. Plus in a massaged kale salad with avocado, lemon juice, and s+p.
ReplyDeleteThis gave me tingles!

This is just to say...
I have eaten
the plums

you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me

and so cold

It only took 3 years?? WOWZERS!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny 'cos I was just thinking about planting some pomegranate seeds yesterday whilst eating a pomegranate - they're native to Spain anyway so they should thrive.
Andy Dufresne: your kale salad sounds amazing! I'll have to try that with my next pomegranate.
ReplyDeleteSarah: I love that poem.
Jeni: I planted it as a foot-and-a-half tall seedling, not from seed, or I'm sure it would have taken at least a couple more years. I'd love to know what kind of results you get planting from seed, though.
