My Girl Tries Homegrown Persimmons For the First Time

In this episode, John does a taste test with his girlfriend to find out if Beyond Organic Homegrown persimmons taste better than farmers market or other homegrown persimmons where no fertlizer has been applied.

In this episode, Lauren will be blindfolded and share with you her opinions on each of 4 different types of persimmons.

At the end of this episode, John will brix test each of the persimons and explain the importance of brix in determining the quality of the fruits and vegetables you are growing.

I tried Persimmon fruit, bought from Sainsburys supermarket here in sunny England.

Very pleasant fruit to eat. That's all I can share, just something I liked.

Thank you John, I love watching your channel. This video was perfect timing. I recently had to move to the sub burbs and in to a hoa subdivision. Pinellas county, the burrow is safety harbor. I recently had to take a big oaks out of my front yard and they gave me a list of except-able trees to choose from, and one of them is the common persimmon (yahoo a fruit tree) I am trying to create a edible landscape with out pissing any one off. So I started looking at the laws because i miss my garden. Pinellas county allows for gardening and hens, but the hoa does not, so i found a way around it by companion planting. If any one needs to know how to get around a hoa mix herbal flowers with your veggies in nice shaped bed that way they are not noticeable. What the hoa mainly does not want to see is rows of edibles. Hope you have a awesome day.
