We are past our average frost date now.  Temps have been down to 38, but 
not lower than I know of. I just checked the 15 day forecast...no luck. 
 If I have to wait more than two weeks, there will, as is the usual 
case, be no persimmons left. Most of them are still in the trees 
ripening, but I think I can get enough sweet ones off the ground to make 
a loaf or two of bread.  The ones I ate today to look at the seeds were 
very good.
