today's fruit: 4 or 5 very small physalis. from my very own physalis "tree" in the kitchen window. the physalis tree is a strange (but nice) person. it's been close to death for as long as i've known it (it needs a lot of water, and i don't give it any. it's possible it has other needs too, that i don't even know of...). but at the same time as it's looking miserable, with the most depressed-looking leaves i've ever seen, it grows and grows and grows, and flowers in fall and has fruit in the middle of the winter. i thought plants needed sun and water and care in order to bring fruit. but not the physalis tree. it's my kind of tree. i love it.
