Hi Ben,

RH> Sounds interesting. Did the videos give any indication of how long it will
RH> take to bear fruit?

 BC> Yes, and she told me, but i forgot the actual number.  An Internet
 BC> search says 3 to 5 years.  I remember reading that the pomegranate was
 BC> a sacred tree to the Phoenecians and part of their religion included
 BC> spreading it. Kind of a mediterranean "Johnny Appleseed" effect.

Nice! When we went to Israel, I bought a necklace with a pomegranate on
it. Sadly, it was one of the ones taken when we had a break in 4 years
later.

 BC> Nice that you got figs in 3 years.  Fig trees grow fast!  I guess you
 BC> could say they grow figorously.  ;)

Groan! We didn't get that many the first few years but I made a small (3
jars) batch of fig preserves in 2022. The next year (IIRC) I made about
9 jars of preserves. It's an all day procces to cook them down but we
have good eats for the winter. Last year I made several things with the
figs, including fig syrup that we mixed with sparkling water for fig
soda. I'm not sure what I'll do with this year's crop.

 BC> Recently i was in a bike accident and i'm only comfortable when i
 am BC> horizontal.  I've been binge watching a friend's sci-fi
 collection and BC> am happy to report that i am on the mend.

OUCH! Just bumps and bruises or more major damage? Did the bike survive?
I've given up on bike riding, don't trust my balance on it any more.

Throw some blueberries in it too. Yesterday Steve smoked 2 racks of ribs
so we had part of one plus a spinach salad for supper. The salad was
based on one we'd had in our hotel in Fairbanks, AK several years ago;
it had candied pecans, craisins, feta cheese, bacon crumbles,
strawberries and spinach with a balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing. I
didn't measure anything, just "That looks about right" into a a couple
of bowls. It went well with the ribs and now we have several packages of
ribs in the freezer for future enjoyment.
