5 poms

I have the most beautiful and bountiful pomegranate tree in my backyard.

3 poms and empty basket

I had the tree planted when we did a complete remodel of our yard, five years ago.

It produces bigger and better-looking fruit each year.

The only problem is, that the fruit falls off the tree and then rots before it ripens. On Saturday, I cleaned the tree of each and every unripened pom before it had a chance to fall to the ground.

I’ve decided that I have to let the wish of having juicy edible poms go and just enjoy the fact that I have a beautiful basket full of pomegranates that I can now dry and use for floral arrangements and for fall and winter decorating.

This makes me sad! I thought we were going to get pomegranate drink recipes…
