MORE MAIL FROM THE STEEMIANS!
This was some amazing mail!
Three months ago, I made a post about my desire to grow some Asian persimmons here on my homestead. Since I have wild American Persimmons already growing, I am hoping to graft in some scions from Asian varieties. Two popular ones are Kaki and Fuyu. When I made my post, @haphazard-hstead mentioned that they grew Fuyu, and would be willing to send me some cuttings once the tree went dormant. That was exciting news, especially with how much my @little-peppers enjoy them.
Then, the west coast para-glider @captainobviou3 messaged me to get my shipping address. Why was a mystery to me, but yesterday I found out!

CONTINUOUSLY BLOWN AWAY!
C'mon people! Can you believe stuff like this? First of all, how amazing is it to have people take the time to create personalized gifts for you like this amazing one from @captainobviou3? You have no idea how much it means to me that someone would go through all of that effort and then pay to have it shipped all the way to me.
And then we have things like this! Sure, I can dream of grafting in Asian persimmons, but then when someone offers to ship you some for free and throws in Ginko Biloba seeds for free on top of it, how amazing is that. I've really appreciated @haphazard-hstead and their role and involvement in the community, and if I am able to grow some persimmons from their trees on my own trees, how cool would that be? Thanks so much to all of you, and steem on!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
I'm glad you got that package in good shape. Get those persimmon scions in the refrigerator! Check them every now and again -- if they get any mold, soak them in water with a touch of bleach. And then get them back in the refrigerator -- the cold part. They are best held at temperatures in the 30s, until you are ready to graft.
For the Gingko seeds, here's more about how I foraged them and got the nuts out. I boiled some and used them in a Chopped Salad with Olives, Jerusalem Artichokes, Wild Bittercress, and the Gingko Nuts. They are great pan-roasted, too. I used some yesterday for a crazy cucumber dessert with foraged and homestead plants. Of course, you can plant them, too -- but it will take 30-40 years before you see any harvests from the female trees. It's faster to find some mature trees growing in an old neighborhood, lol. I'll be posting more ways to eat Gingko nuts, too. I'm looking forward to your review of them! :D
Steemit is a great community and the Steem blockchain offers so many opportunities for folks. Happy homesteading - and foraging, too! :D
Wow! Very cool! Thanks SO MUCH!
Good deed follows you close.
Keep on sharing the beautiful land and inform us about LIFE
You have so many series that show your dedication for all steemians.
It is pay back time. Enjoy it.

Thank you!
Wow, this is really great. I love your high level of commitment to what you do. Passion defines you
thank you, I appreciate the compliment.
Uwc sire. Much love
That's awesome! Very kind of them to help you out. Fuyu persimmons are one of my favorite fruits. I love persimmon season! I hope they work out for you.
I hope that they work out too! Thanks!
At least you are not getting weird mail. All cool stuff is welcome!
It is all some really cool stuff. I'm glad it's not getting weird, thanks!
Be careful with the ginkgo seeds, you don't want to plant a female, perhaps start them in containers until you know what sex it is, the females are supposed to stink like vomit.
I LOVE PERSIMMONS. HIGHLY UNDER RATED FRUIT!!
papa pepper, bringing the pepper to the people!
