Still picking off ticks, and pulling red bugs from between my toes, but all part of the adventure…right? I’m back on the hunt for pawpaws, this time helping @blaise_damnit forage seeds for his greenhouse. It’s such an odd fruit—unexplainably tropical for a tree with a natural range all the way from here in south Louisiana, up through the northern reaches of the Ohio River Valley. The lore and history surrounding it are fascinating, and connect those who’ve tasted it to a history that’s all but lost. Have you tried it?
