When I look at all the blogs from cooler climates I am rather envious of all the beautiful colorful flowers and fruits. Here in the tropics the flowers have a stronger texture and more uniform colors. The fruits are either green, orange or yellow.
Most of our fruits are almost ripe but we are leaving for a long exploring vacation so will miss out on the harvesting, and the delicious juices.
Myself and the boys sowed some seeds today so that when we return we will have some ready to harvest. A lovely Canadian girl using our green house, will care and continue to grow many varieties of greens, vegetables and other herbs whilst we are away.

Look at all that delicious fruit! What a beautiful place to live!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great vacation. Love all your fruits, the nectarines look delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny because I'm in Canada, and when I look at tropical pictures like yours, I'm envious of how lush the greenery is, and at all the "tropical" colours and fruits that we can't grow here. I've never really thought of our fruits and veggie plants as colorful... but I guess your right :)
ReplyDeleteAn exploring vacation sounds very interesting. Wishing you lots of great discoveries!

You have created a beautiful space here!
Wow, lovely fruits and herbs, cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteHi dear mama,
ReplyDeleteSo interesting to see what grows there. So different from our pears, apples, berries. I can't get over the size of those nectarines - and guavas - so delicious! My boys have just been saying how they wish they could go over to your farm to play and explore! Such a fascinating place! Thinking of you all as you are about to embark on your journey. Stay well and happy adventuring.
Best wishes
All those lovely tropical things that I could never grow here. MMMMM avocados. :) The grass is always greener....
ReplyDeleteOh yes!, Avocados and Mangos are my favorites.
ReplyDeletedoes the lemon grass help with the mosquitoes? we have them bad in our neighborhood. i can not imagine the delight in having an avocado growing in your own backyard!! mmmmm...
ReplyDeleteHi there Rae, lovely to hear from you. I think the lemon grass could help but would need quite a bit - we hardly have mosquitos like we do in Miami. The lemon grass takes very easy, it's like a wild grass, it thrives on the heat and water. A couple of weeks ago, I split many plants and have put them all around my gardens to deter the bugs from vegetables. So lets see if that works.
ReplyDeleteWe would love to have you visit Kelly!
