I’ve only had hickory nuts once, but I can say its one of my favorite. Those look delicious.
I also love the look of the wood, it’s what we chose for our floors.

@murky … we have custom built hickory cabinets in our kitchen… yes the wood color variations… love it. Very durable too.

I’m not sure if it counts,Because I grew it in my oven, which I was using as an incubator, with a seedling grow mat under the dish, and the lightbulb on x48h. I guess I was technically growing mushrooms (or at least their cousins) a mold called Rhizopus oligosporus!
Yum.
Invented by Indonesians in Java, it’s called Tempeh

We have several varieties of lemons and limes in a little greenhouse. The Meyer is pumping out some big lemons. I make a lemonade almost every day.

Melogold? They are slightly bigger and less pithy!

Those are beautiful! How do you know when to harvest them? Mine is still a little green at the tip. The size is impressive though - never seen Meyer lemons this big in the store.
And here’s some arugula and mustard greens from a couple of days ago:

The name is not familiar, I bought all my citrus trees from Costco.
My lemons that I just harvested are half green, but I squeezed them before picking and they are juicy. My husband makes lemon water every morning and he said they were good.

I went on a foraging trip today…
56 shag bark hickory nuts found… several black walnuts and 4 very nice persimmons.
This is a young shag I found on the natchez trace… I harvested several from it in october… but it was still holding several nuts. This time most of them had dropped… there is a persimmon tree right beside it on the left… and on the right a black walnut.
Great spot for fall even early winter foraging.
There are a hundred or more persimmons still on the tree.
Persimmons harvested this late no astringency at all and fantastic flavor. These were the best I have had so far.
No persimmons made it home

Starting pick a few citrus, most are still green, got to wait till March/April. Can eat a ton of them. Btw, today 66*, doors are open, around 60 or more bees visiting again. Tomorrow 72*. Don’t know where they come from, plenty of flowers for them to work on. They are most welcome.

i have bees into the low 50’s here. all bumbles. sometimes the cold paralyzes them on the plant and when i go out in the morning, they’re sitting there vibrating their wings trying to warm up to be able to fly. i give them a light stroke on their back and that usually motivates them to sluggishly fly off. theyre on my everbearing raspberries until a good frost.

Myer Lemons which I had mistakenly thought they were Lisbon lemons until I looked closely at some recipe then I realized I was wrong. These lemons are very fragrant.
