I love the intricately sculpted garlands of fruit which can be found on some of Glasgow's older buildings. In this case, it's beside the entrance to an Edwardian Baroque warehouse on Bell Street which was designed by Thomson and Sandilands, and was built in 1904.
Romans used to say "caput aut navis" (head or ship) in Latin. In Spanish, "heads or tails" is translated in South America, "Cara o sello" (face or stamp) or "Cara o escudo" (face or emblem). In #Spain "Cara o Cruz" (face or cross) and in #Mexico, "Águila o sol" (eagle or sun).
While our herb bed is doing great, we also have a vegie bed, though it feels more like a fruit bed. We have two strawberry plants, a blueberry and raspberry plant, and blackcurrant and redcurrant shrubs. There are a bunch of tomato and pepper plants that have come straight from seeds out of a tomato and pepper that we used.
It's all young. We only started on this garden last September and it's a joy watching it develop from scratch.
Three things I've learned about fruit as an adult:
The apple core is a lie. If you eat the apple like there wasn't any core, it'll taste just the same and you'll barely notice it (and even if you bite through the seeds, you have nothing to worry about unless you eat a metric shit-ton of apples every day).
Also: eating the whole apple (and the stem, although it's a bit hard to chew) is good for your microbiome.
Kiwis don't have to be peeled. Just wash them and eat like an apple. You'll barely notice the difference, while the fuss goes down 80%
Oranges that are hard to peel (like blood oranges) become very easy to peel if you roll them between your palms for a few minutes, applying gentle pressure.
Always warms my heart to still see these cozy Assam type houses in between the concrete buildings in #Aizawl. Those are passion #fruit#vines - provides shade and I guess, gives a beautiful cozy look to the house.
