Just took a short walk through the garden this morning and took a few shots of things growing in our yard: First up is Noni, a very bitter fruit that is very good for you. It's made into juice and you'll see it in healthfood stores. Read about it here.
Walking by our pond I caught a glimps of Billy. He's one of two resident bull frogs. They are both named Billy. Ask Tracy about that.
Ok, so.....that's one of those, then. It's probably 3 feet taller than I.
Liliko'i - grows on a vine and tastes so fine. I watch these like a hawk and pick them when they begin to turn yellow. Read more at the post called "Favorite Eats."
Mailbox adornment. The delightfully odiferous Brugmansia. The smell is tropical, sweet and wonderful, but don't eat them.
Breadfruit. These little one's have a way to go before ready to eat. They get as big as a football and a lot heavier. Messy to work with and not much of a flavor, but done right they can be OK.
Polmelo. Like a mild grapefruit. There are 4 or 5 trees of them here.
The banana. Stalks of these are everywhere on the property. This one just happens to be hangin' out right next to the house. We can reach it from our porch.
Limes. Gotta have'm. We gott'm. Just one tree but it seems to be adequately prolific.
Finally, just a pretty picture of another stalk of bananas. There are a few more things out there to show off. I'll get to them soon. Check back!
