Aunty's Garden
We're fortunate to have bees and a persimmon tree at Aunty's Garden.
From the bees of course comes honey and the persimmons a rare quality of taste in this bright orange fruit, so sweet in contrast between the two.
I've stood and watched as the bees do their work buzzing back and forth endlessly, foraging from one flower to another gathering whatever these little bees gather. They go back and forth tireless in the sojourn of making honey.
I bought the persimmon tree about four years ago and this year it was full of fruit, even though the tree is not fully grown. How fortunate we are to experience the sweetness of life here in Hawke's Bay, unlimited fruit of most kinds, vegetables so fresh and nutritious, especially at Aunty's Garden.
Lately we've been enjoying mixes of kale, bok choy, puha, rocket, young spinach and young silverbeet, beetroot leaves, brussel sprout and shoots of cabbage in broth, salads and soups.
