As my dad says, one of his passions is pomegranates. So here's a little timeline of pomegranates at the Hervey house!
We'll begin with trees already planted and fruit already being produced on the trees.
Next, we see a very happy dad with lots of pomegranates.
Then, there's a very silly dad having fun with pomegranates!
This is a typical event, I believe: Granddad and grandson out in the yard picking pomegranates together (- And this particular grandson can certainly eat his fair share of pomegranates!!)
Others accompany Dad on the pomegranate-picking trip
This guy found a big one!
All smiles with mega-pomegranate!
Back in the house, we see bowls and bowls of pomegranates that have already been picked.
Oh, and here's another bowl!
(Not pictured: Dad spending lots of time peeling pomegranates; he recommends peeling them under water in the sink if they are shooting juice everywhere).
Time to eat! Dad very kindly labeled each variety of pomegranate that was available for eating.
These pomegranates are arranged from the most sweet (on the left) to the most tart (on the right).
Also not pictured: Everyone enjoying the fruits of Dad's labors while snacking on the pomegranates!
Also not pictured: The other 8 varieties of pomegranates that are currently at the Hervey's Front Yard Orchard.
Also not pictured: The 32 pomegranates that Dad sent us home with! I'm so excited to have so many pomegranates to enjoy and share! Jordan already peeled three of them today, and we enjoyed them with dinner!
I hope you have enjoyed the pomegranate timeline. Special thanks goes to Dad for his pomegranate passion! May you also be inspired to share in this fantastic fall fruit!
