Newly planted persimmon

I planted this two weeks ago, and the weather has been all over the place here in Central VA. Warm, cool, very little rain. I’m watering about every three days. I’ve noticed on warmer days where it went over 80 and was in the sun all day. It looked a little wilted. I’m sure it’s transplant shock. We’re getting ready to have some 90+ degree days for the next 3 to 4 days. I put a tomato cage around the tree and hung a little sheet of frost cloth on the southwest side to protect it from afternoon sun during this heat wave. Is this ok?

I’ve been wanting an Omnia stovetop camp oven for awhile. Found this at Lidl for $12.99. Couldn’t justify the $79 for an Omnia, I won’t bake every trip. It includes a silicone pan and a baking rack.

Camp oven, I’ve been wanting one

I’ve had my eye on the Omnia stovetop camp oven for awhile now. Not sure what I want to bake at camp, but I want to do it. Lidl has these for $12.99. Includes a silicone pan and a baking rack.

I'm in Central VA and ordered a persimmon earlier this year (hasn't arrived yet). I've also purchased 4 blueberries to plant, and I have a fig tree that I overwintered in a pot that I want to plant. We're in a severe drought and my clay soil is like concrete. I've tried digging with a trenching shovel with serrated side edges. I'm standing on the shovel and it might go in the ground a quarter inch. Has anyone one used one of the battery powered augers? I'd like to get things planted and plant the tree when it arrives. Thanks for any ideas.

I read a lot about these last summer on this sub. They were sold out in my area because I started late. This year I snagged a four pack of both. I had some questions for people who have grown both.

Which one do you think is the most productive? Which one is easier to grow with less problems? Do you have a favorite for flavor?

Thanks for any info.
