Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I never did like persimmons until last year when I dried them. They are really good that way. As a kid, I remember the foggy mornings with the fat shiny persimmon leaves turning yellows and oranges, the bark looking black from the dampness. Fog swirling around. The smell of the nearby forest, redwoods, tan oaks and madrones. It is still a very real picture in my mind. But eat them, nope! Not until last year. I am glad you are enjoying yours Don!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 The very, very inside of the seed is a white material, and it is formed in the shape of a fork, knife or spoon. I can remember going out as kids with my dad, and he'd shake the tree limbs and we'd pick up the persimmons. There were four of us kids, and we'd eat some of the fruit and then line all the seeds up. We'd get out one of the boys boy scout pocket knives and split the seed open very carefully. If you did it slow and easy enough, the seed would come apart very clean and viola! there was the knife, the fork or the spoon. You never knew what, but there was always one of the three. Sometimes we'd get in a hurry and mess things up and you couldn't tell what it was. Cross my heart. There is silverware in the middle of persimmon seeds. :-) :-) My great-grandparents came straight off the Cherokee Nation in Florence, Alabama, and walked the Trail of Tears. They were the bankers of The Nation in those days, before " civilization " came. I've got more Native American in great-grandparents from the other parent, too - I've always assumed a lot of this " knowledge " came from the Indian on both sides.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 OMG... where have you all been? lol... According to folklore the type of winter we will have this year can be determined by the shape of the embryo. If the image is that of a spoon or shovel the winter should have lots of heavy snow. A fork indicates a mild winter with light snow. A knife indicates a bitter winter, very icy and cold, with cutting winds. Don Eitner <mysticalherbalist@...> wrote: You found those inside the seed?

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Wellll, and what if the pomegranates come from out of state? Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Suzi - Now you've got bells going off in my head. My grandmother told us the same thing about the persimmon silverware, in addition to the story about the fuzz on the caterpillars indicating how hard and long the winter would be, and a dozen more just like those two, LOL!!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 My mom always told me when the cows are laying down it means it's going to rain. Just like when the leaves turn "inside out" it's going to rain. That meant when you could see the silver side of the leaves blowing in the wind.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 It is the persimmon seeds that have these in them. It is confusing because we don't change the subject line.
