Speaking of seeds..

Last fall I gathered persimmons at our favorite location near Lake Monroe.  I decided to try germinating the seeds this spring to see what would happen. After squishing all the fruit to get the pulp (yeech!) I dried the seeds and stored them until this spring.  It took about three weeks, but all four seeds I put in peat pots have germinated!  Below is a photo series for the past week (day1; day2; day3).  I plan on transplanting them when they get a few inches higher.
