I don't think I've had a yellow one, but I have grown a red.
The fruit of the Peruvian apple cactus looks similar and is also edible, but I leave them for the birds.

🌱 I started on Sunday the process to turn the Hachiya persimmons my neighbor gave to me into hoshigaki. I have five total on the rack.
🤞🏼 I get one or two that make it.

🌱 I think I forgot to share that my Selenicereus grandiflorus produced a fruit. Mildly sweet and refreshing, like dragon fruit. Those spines are something, though. 😬

🌱 My pansy and viola seed order arrived from Three Brothers Blooms. Look at the adorable pup in the thank you card! 😍 Very pretty seed packets. Can't wait to grow these.

🌱 My neighbor just delivered a bag of hachiya persimmons from his yard. 🤗 He kindly leaves the stems attached for me so that I can dry them for hoshigaki. Can't decide whether the two ripe ones will become persimmon bread or persimmon and walnut ice cream. 😋

🌱 Making wreath forms from the material I'm cutting back during long overdue garden clean up. I like making my own forms from material that would otherwise go into the compost pile. They are thin but hold up well.

🌱 A small but good harvest. I found the eggplants while doing some garden clean up. Also, very happy to find I managed to save three pomegranates from the squirrels. I wrap them in brown lunch bags when the fruit begins to form and then 🤞🏼 and wait. 🐿

🌱 Potting up day for this crew. Interesting how spotty the germination was, even within the same seed packets (snapdragons). The Vintage Brown and Lavender Blue stock are a bust. 🙁

Sorry for the low quality. I took this photo through my kitchen window. This friend would sit on my driveway gate each early morning before flying off.

#NoKings rally kicking off in Pasadena, CA, earlier today. Good turnout. I didn't take many photos because I was holding a very large American flag. 🇺🇸💪🏼

How did I miss seeing this 🤔 Your tomatoes look great. I had a rather sad tomato season.
Can you tell me the name of the tomatoes I circled in your photo?

🌱 My esthetician threw a little party to celebrate 13 years in business. I always talk about my garden when I see her, so I made her a little posy as a gift for taking care of me and my skin for the last ten years. Many small businesses didn't survive Covid. So glad hers did.
