Is it? Love cherries. Tad too expensive here atm.

Hubby bought a case of decent looking mangoes 2 days ago. Only 9 left now.

Gawd they're yummy! They're seriously next level awesomeness.

Hopefully my cherry trees will bear a decent amount of fruit next year! And my peach trees!

A ripe peach eaten straight off the tree is a real luxury!

Indeed.
My wife bought in a tray of kensington mangoes. We often give them away to neighbours at this time.
I saw them and said "we might not be giving many of these away.'

Have given 3 away. 4 remain.

my favourite ... especially the black figs

Black Sapote.
Dragon Fruit.
Jaboticaba.

Just plain, non-seedless, non-genetic Watermelon.
Appreciated it on very hot days and still love spitting the seeds at people like a machine gun.

Oh yes, on a 33 degree day, afternoon.
Watermelon.

I can't think of any fruit that is not a luxury fruit, all stone fruits are delicious ripe off a tree, an apple passion fruit blackberry, mmm dark grapes....

Some chick called Eve gave me a fruit...

cherries here are 45 per kilo this minute- i stole one and ate it- =sharp intake of breath=

There are not so good oranges for 2 dollars per kilo?   


a market is what I want!!

I bought half a kilo cherries for $6 this morning. Were yum!

Don't like them. Too astringent. But you can get non-astringent ones apparently. The black sapote is a close relative.

Sapote. . .haven’t even seen one for a long time. I liked the black sapote but that was in the 1990s.

Yup, used to eat like 6 peaches straight from the tree for breakfast, hope to do so again soon! Three eating cherries—more breakfast! And raspberries and blueberries!

COCKatoos!

One year they left us 6. And that was AFTER they took 100 plus. And the vine was covered by netting too.

I had to fight back tears that year. And I was seriously p1ssed off as I had been carefully nurturing all the little fruit and was watching them grow/ripen. 🥺

I've been gorging on these all week

Guava. Smell nice. Taste a bit bland.

They're good 👍

Roma tomatoes ... hundreds of 'em from one plant up on a mesh fence... same as the passion fruit ... got over 40 on the vine now waiting for the ripen....

Espaliered?  Plenty of air and good soil and water ...

very well done.

My recent crop of tomatoes is not that good.

Why do they look dusty?

Dust washes off FD!

That probably explains the ones that don't look dusty.

But not the ones that do.
