Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch


It was hot in the hills; what happened to those cool mornings? I found pawpaws! I knew they were supposed to be native here, but never saw them before. Maybe I don't often prowl the right habitat at this time of year. Several years ago, I found what I thought was a small, immature one; but I was uncertain 'til I found these. At any rate, I'm eating pawpaws. Their seeds look like persimmon; flavor is similar to persimmon, with tones of fig and cantelope.
