Up Hickory Hollow

The massive shagbark hickory that gave Hickory Hollow its name when I was a child fell a long time ago, but there are still plenty of hickory trees there, and we still call it that.

It is, roughly, an area of somewhat scruffy woods about 50 yards wide by 150 yards long, and a gravel road winds through it. That's where we've been cutting firewood (the orange dots), and where I found the oddball shelf fungus recently.

Further up, across a field and a bit beyond this map, is a huge sinkhole. The kind that could have swallowed a house. It used to be part of a pasture, when my father had cattle. Now it has mature trees growing in a ring around it, and lines of trees from the 2020 planting (with "tree tubes" to protect them) stretching away on either side.

Where the land seems to dip, there, is actually a big hole that *must* be connected to a cave system of some kind, but it's too dangerous to poke around the bottom. It could collapse further with no warning. The smaller trees on the left are a group of about 5 persimmons. Diospyros virginiana, to be precise. They are wild, the fruits are much smaller than the domesticated ones you see in the market, and only edible after frost.

The grass is too tall under the trees to find the dropped ones easily. Hmm.

Bit by bit, she shinnied up there until she could shake the branches. Then I had to scamper about picking up the fruit. The fact that they're ugly does not mean that they are spoiled.

Inside, they are a deep orange color, mushy texture, and very sweet. Most of them will be left for the wildlife. I wouldn't mind getting some more trees started, though, and encouraging them to keep their lower limbs so they're more climbable.

The wikipedia article is a wild ride. Look for the part about persimmon bezoars!! eEEee

Winter-persistent

While I'm on the persimmon topic, let me write a love letter to two other "winter-persistent" fruits that I love. Groundcherries

Just - don't follow those directions from Stalking the Wild Asparagus and actually cook the darned things. I painstakingly shucked out 6 damn cups of berries one year and cooked them into pie filling. It was REVOLTING. And they're quite tasty eaten raw! More like pineapple than anything else; sweet and tart.

Also rose hips. I think pretty much everybody knows that they are edible, but relatively few people gather or use them around here.

I enjoy them as a nice, tart snack when I'm out and about the farm. Nutmeg and Hero would commit crimes to get some. Well, Nutmeg would commit crimes for pretty much any reasons, but. Goats.

Fresh fruit after freezing weather. Wonderful!!

So when a celebrity says something pro Palestine or even pro Hamas everyone goes "yeah woo celebrities should always use their platform to talk about issues"

But when a celebrity says "actually killing Israelis is bad" suddenly celebrities shouldn't get involved in conflicts and shouldn't use their platform to talk about issues

It's so blatant that people just mean "celebrities should only boost the opinions we deem correct and should never ever express sympathy for Jews, that's so lame"

I'm so done

#yes this is about the Tara Strong situation mostly but it's also about every other public figure who was shamed #for saying murder of civilians is bad #for saying israelis are human #for pointing out that Hamas are terrorists #it's all disgusting hypocrites who hate seeing Israelis be treated as humans #anyways when do we start gatekeeping everything ever made by jews from antisemites #there's one specific youtuber who i want to go to and say 'actually I'm taking Gravity Falls and Prince of Egypt away from you' #because he clearly hates Jews and i think if you hate Jews you're not allowed to praise our works because itll always be insincere #also please tell me what Prince of Egypt is about. before you starr retweeting your 5000th 'jews are white europeans' tweet #mango rambles #personal fruits #jumblr #ישראל #ישראלבלר

And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.
