Forest farm



Our forest farm, with persimmons in the foreground. The yellow tree is providing us with enough ginko nuts to keep us fat over the winter. Kiwis hang over the front door, and I am still trying to figure out how to harvest the ones that are hanging over the neighbor's driveway. And our mini mandarin orange tree has five little oranges on it this year.

Also you can see the juxtaposition of persimmons with Japanese maple leaves (momiji), each symbolic of the autumn season and brilliant with color. The birds have eaten half a sphere and will come back for the rest, later.
