Cinnamon in your garden!! Oh my, pauljoeseph! And I thought Meyer lemons in the garden were pretty exotic! Thank you for sharing these pictures and opening a window into your life. You've probably told us before, but please tell us again where you live.

love the 'aatukall & ammi' (grinding stones) used so creatively in the garden. these were a staple in every home before the blender & more recently, the electric stone grinder came into vogue!. Gosh Pauljoseph... do U live on a spice plantation?? wow!!!

Pauljoseph, It would be wonderful if you could make these photographs of food related items in their 'native habitat', a regular photo feature, I'm sure a lot of others here as well look eagerly forward to your pix.

Absolutely, I agree with Panfusine that Pauljoseph's photographs are so much more than a simple pickle! Every picture is beautiful and interesting. I have some crudely cut cinnamon, and I was especially excited with this one. But they are all amazing.

well, you could decide on the day you want to post a pic ( on a weekday,) & simply post like you've done here, with a little bit of information (like your comments on cinnamon wood being fabulous for BBQ).. you could post a note the previous day hinting at what you're going to post the next day... thats it!

Could you tell us more about the tree itself -- how tall, are there flowers, how do you know when to harvest (the bark?) --- ?? No wonder the Europeans wanted spices! We can read about it, but hearing from you and seeing your excellent photos makes it real.
