Mountain Apple

I was out picking Carambola when I thought I'd check out the Mountain Apple I topped last year. Pleasant surprise of prime fruit ready to pick. 50 cents each out at the stand while they last.

Banana Harvest

I harvested some of my own bananas last week from new field. I threw fertilizer about 6 months ago and have been pruning and taking better care of my bananas. Have plan to plant new mats every month and fill in gaps of orchard.

Abiu

Only a few this year. Picked a few and they were sweet.

Peach Palm in Flower

The Peach Palms are flowering now.

I recently bought a convection steamer that should make cooking the fruit quick and easy. We may have enough this year to offer at the Fruit Stand
