| Welcome to Pometet |
Today,
Jonas (DK), Tobyn (Engalnd), Anna (Canada), Yelena (Columbia) and I went to
Pometet in Taastrup. It’s about 24,7 km from our office, or about 35 min by car
but we turned out about 50 minutes because of getting a little bit lost :D. Arriving there, Michael and Tom had been
waiting for us. Tom is an associate professor from Department of Plant and environmental
Science, University of Copenhagen, where this garden belongs to.

We brought
our containers to the garden and Tom gave some explanation about Pometet. Pometet
or Pometum is a collection of varieties of fruit trees and bushes. The word
derived from the latin word “pomum” which means “fruit on trees" (pometet.dk). It is a 2 hectare teaching garden which collects 800 apple varieties, of
which about 300 is Danish. Although it has an incredible number of apple
collection, there are some other fruits such as pears, cherries, grapes,
currant, berries and 200 varieties of strawberry are being conserved. For me it is like a living fruit trees museum. We
are lucky to have this opportunity to pick some ripen fruits. Along with Tom
explaining about the plants, we tasted lots of berries, currants, plum, and
sour cherry as we passed by.

There were
so many ripen fruits, however, today we’re just gonna take some plums, red and
white currants, goose berry and sour cherry for lab uses. So, everyone took
their own container, started to (eating) picking up fruits, and not to forget
labelling it. August is just the right time for harvesting. We had so much fun
as you can see from the pictures below. I am so grateful to Allah for this
beautiful trip. Alhamdulillahirabbil ‘alamin…
