Hmm. I personally would just use ripe berries, but maybe another viewer has something to add here?

You can give her a call if you like (503) 206-5071 :)

I purchased my tree in 2011, so I've had it for 13 years now. Hope that helps.

@@BarbTalks-mu7sm WOW... I was hoping you would say like this is 3 years old or something. LOL your Izu persimmon looks beautiful. Thank you.

I checked your handle above and don't see anything about about an organic nursery? If you contact Portland Nursery, Rain Tree Nursery, or One Green World, one of those businesses may be able to help you. Good luck :)

​@BarbTalks-mu7sm yeah, this channel has nothing to do with my Nursery business. I'm actually a small wholesale Nursery that isn't open to the public. My family has been in the Nursery business for close to 50 years. Been in Boring/Sandy area my whole life. I've definitely went to those places you mentioned but no one has a Negronne and not even close to that size. If you ever trim it or need a trim, I'd love to get the refuse. I'd gladly pay you for them or trade for any Oriental tree of your choice. Thanks again.

@@HRDRZ I'd love to hear more about your nursery business. I have a sister who lives in the Sandy area - she may know of your farm/family :) What's the name of your wholesale nursery? Can you message me your info/website?

What a great idea! Thanks for the tip!

Congrats on our newly discovered Swedish and Norwegian heritage :) My great grandfather began carving a horse for my dad (his grandson), but my dad starting playing with it before it was finished. So along with a decorated/painted traditional Dala horse, I also have a very well-loved rough unpainted horse that I treasure.

Hi @sylynlam3562, it took 3- 4 years to get fruit, from my memory. I looked up Hobart online - are you from the Hobart in Australia?

Yes that’s right Barb. With our cool temperate climate I thought that the earlier Izu variety might have an easier task maturing its fruit.

Thanks! I made this back when I was in grade school by just wrapping scotch tape around and around and around until it looked like a bunny LOL. I bet you could even do this faster with a thicker tape, such as painters tape? That's one of the joys of being a kid - you don't know what you're doing, so you just fiddle around/play until something happens. I think that's how my son (now 28) got so good at figuring out computers, games, logic - he just fiddled around with various online games and then figured out all the strategies. I hope you enjoy my back catalogue of memories, foibles, and things that bring me joy.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad you liked it.

Your finger puppets sound amazing! Thank you for sharing!

I'm not sure who's notebook I used then. That doesn't look like Pam or Doug's drawing on the inside back cover, nor their handwriting. Maybe it was some random notebook leftover in Dad's classroom in middle school?

Thank you :) It was a fun way to be creative in the summer. And looking back, a wonderful time capsule of ads in magazines, as well as, like you said, my summer after 3rd grade sense of humor frozen in time.

Glad you stopped to comment :)

Thank you!

My tree Is around 15 years old.

Oh wow, thanks for letting me know. What a great tree, able to keep it that small and produce so much.

@@sheens9193 I also prune the tree each year in the early spring, to help keep it small. But it is naturally a smaller tree compared to other varieties.

Thank you! I'd love to hear what your experience is with your easy-care and simple routine.

Do you have some favorite items?

Hi! Yes, I bought the washable silk maxi skirt, the washable silk puffer sleeve blouse in navy. I’m wearing them to a baby shower. I also bought the washable silk shirt dress, I love that style. I’m petite and that works well for me. I love their silk as you can tell!

I cut it back each year to keep it smaller. The new growth comes out and fills it out in the more bushy style. Since the spot I have my fig in is a small space next to the porch, I prune it kind of like an espalier so that it's wider than it is deep. I think this allows the sunshine to better penetrate to reach the figs so they ripen better.

Thanks for the reply! Thanks for the tip on OshKosh - I might give those a try, too.

I love overalls too. I called them "hook pants" when I was a kid. They're the first clothes I discovered pockets on and I love pockets especially to put my hands in. I always wear a long sleeve shirt with overalls and I like to wear with them a head bandana, a big watch with a thick black leather or black silicone strap as well as sunglasses and black leather gloves.

@@AFGSANFORD2 Your outfit description sounds so put together! Thanks for sharing.

@@BarbTalks-mu7sm awh thank you 😊. It's stuff that I like to wear with overalls.

That was creepy, but also 'hey I watered those grapes and I want to eat them, not you!'

How do you get your garlic to come back each year? I planted elephant garlic years ago, and it didn't come back up the following year. I don't know what happened to it. So I've been hesitant to plant garlic again.

@@BarbTalks-mu7sm gosh, I don't know. It was growing here when I bought the house. I didn't harvest it for several years because I thought it was flowers. They do have flowers. So now there's a nice patch growing. I think it's regular, not the giant variety.

How fun for your son! I'm so glad our kids (and yours) had a chance to work in this industry. In the Portland area where I'm from, I think there used to be an agency that exclusively represented fitness models. I think it's great that there are different agencies that specialize in different sizes/shapes/abilities.

I'm sorry, I'm not able to do that. But you might want to get ahold of Raintree Nursery or One Green World nursery. I can't remember which, but one of them has researchers who partner with gardeners around the world.

Thanks for your comment, Julian Porter.

I'm so glad you are enjoying your walkable neighborhood!

You might want to check with your local plant nursery(ies) or your area horticultural society. A quick online search I found a person that may be able to help you, a master gardener at the university ahsgardening.org/about-us/news-press/region/ar/

It was so good! Between Chris and I we eat it up in less than 2 days. How long does it take for you and Doug to eat a loaf?

That's a great idea, @1whiteraven! Thanks for the tip.

And you are still a delightfully kind friend, who loves to learn new things, and plays nicely with others. You still appreciate kind hospitality (both giving and receiving). I think that's why you continue to have so many friends, and wonderful relationships with a variety of activities and groups. And you still enjoy fun spur-of-the-moment opportunities.

Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you are continuing your journey of good health and wellness :)

Thanks for your comment that this has been around for 40 years! I guess good recipes stand the test of time :)
