I planted a Fuyu persimmon tree three years ago. It was then two to three year old. This year for the first time it bore fruit. Many of them. I was overjoyed when I saw them in May, but sadly they never got bigger. I finally decided to take them off the tree this morning, and there are about two hundred... I'm pretty sure that I needed to take many of them off the tree when they started to form. They still taste great though! Snack size!

Frost kissed tiny persimmons on almost bare tree.

Many tiny persimmons in a big basket. A woman's hand is holding one for a scale. It's about two inches in diameter.

I have a pot of supermarket basil. Any chance of keeping it alive?

WE HAVE NEW POTATOES 🥔🥔🥔✨

I found the last bag in the garage had sprouted, and didn't want to throw them away.

So I planted them. And here we are..

Very productive day today.

Potted on my rose cuttings and sweet peppers, fitted more trellises for ivy, and ive got a plan for another railway sleeper flower bed!

Also potted on my josterberry cuttings. 10 internet points to the first person who can tell me what they.

As well as all that I finished painting the dining room.

Beer time!

Yesterday's panic mode: get these badly sprouted potatoes planted..

It was supposed to rain all today, so I went nuts hacking away 2 years of neglected garden to clear some ground, and dig it up.

The potatoes are in, no rain. But they're in.

A rectangle of freshly dug earth surrounded by overgrown chaos of plants. The soil is dry and full of roots, and has been piled up into 4 long mounds and furrows.

Better view of the mounds, ready for potatoes. The shadows of a small rowan tree fall across the dug earth. Some loose sticks are piled up at the edge of the plot, remnants of previous runner beans, and a vain effort to hold back encroaching raspberries.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the cup holder in your vehicle is the perfect size for a 4” potted plant.

Sunflowers planted out!

Guess what this is...
I planted the seeds from a persimmon I ate last fall. There's an old Japanese saying: Three years for peach and chestnut, eight for persimmon. Let's see about that, shall we?

Super productive day today! Not only did I get to sow my courgettes, peppers and chives, but I went a bit mad and sowed a bunch of flowers as well :) Also built a greenhouse! So the setup has had a massive upgrade!

Questions for the #gardenersofmastodon especially #urbangardeners. I am growing lacinato kale for the first time this year because I love it. The bed I had planned to put it in is quite shaded, and I since learned that it likes sun- but the sunny bed is FULL of snails. so many snails. They just eat my borage which I don’t mind, but I would probably mind them eating my kale. Shade or snails? Snails or shade? My son is devoted to the snails they have to stay.

So very annoyed that something has been stealing my acorns INSIDE my shed 🤣

That’ll learn me!
