We're so lucky to be able to watch the fruit we eat as it grows on the trees in our yard. When we first moved into the house, we were able to pick lemons but were disappointed that the grapefruit and dates we'd seen on previous visits to the house seemed to have been finished. This morning, our first papaya of the season was ready to be picked from the tree (first and second pictures). I then took a tour of the other trees ... the grapefruits (last picture) need just a little more time, as do the bananas. The mangoes (4th picture) seem to be so close to being ripe, but it'll be another month before they're ready to eat. We have a few mango trees, one of which produces "Mangue Americain" which is apparently a very large mango ... I'll post them once we have them.
