Pomegranate Harvest

It's that beautiful time of year again when the pomegranates begin to ripen and are ready for harvest.  My husband brings out the tall ladder and climbs up to get them while I prepare the patio where they will sit in the sun a bit longer turning red before we distribute them to family and friends.   

It is clearly harvest time!  The outdoor table is currently covered with these bright beauties along side a salad bowl of red lettuce and some broccoli seedlings I will be planting.

Soon the patio garden is filled with pomegranates.  Often I dry some to use as Christmas decorations since they are lovely mixed into evergreen foliage and wreaths near the holidays.   The seeds are also delicious in salads!

It has been so busy lately that I've had little time to post but you'll be hearing more from me soon.  I hope you are all having a wonderful fall.  Enjoy!
