Fall at Betty’s Place

Fall colors and drop leaves happen everywhere, it's no exception at Betty's place.  

A branch with bright red leaves. 

A close up of this branch, a bit out of place but it is eye catching.

The backyard also has some colorful plants.

These little beans are not red enough right now, just wait for a month or more, they will be red enough for Christmas decorations.

What are the fruits?  Orange colored, oranges? 

These are Fuyu persimmons!

Persimmons are ripe and tasty when the leaves are dropped.   Waiting, waiting, waiting for the leaves to drop!

These pretty color persimmons are neither Fuyu nor Hachiya, they are the volunteer lovechild of our Fuyu and Hachiya trees.  They are more of Fuyu in appearance but taste similar to Hachiya. 

When it's fall, we cannot ignore the winter melons in the veggie garden.   They are huge, they are great for making soap during the cold days.
