It was a pretty pathetic tree, all straggly and desperate-looking and alone. I knew it was some kind of fruit tree, but had no idea until it bore these big, lovely fruit. I knew immediately what they were, even though I'd never seen one before - how wierd is that? I wish I'd known to how to make a paste with them back then.Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621605631036611983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454805966928474735.post-32310493454077502442008-10-07T20:40:00.000+01:002008-10-07T20:40:00.000+01:00Garlic - it'll turn up in Autumn/winter.
