There is plenty of fruit to eat this month. The first Starfruit of the season fell off the tree. I can't wait to slice into it! This is the first of hundreds I will harvest over the next few months.
The summer fruits are coming on strong:
White Sapote, Cattley Guava,
and Persian Limes.
There are also some early Pomegranates and Macadamias. The Jaboticaba has been producing a few fruits non-stop since late spring.
There is still a good supply of Sweet Lemons and juicy Valencia Oranges even though it is very late for them.
There are a few late
Surinam Cherries if you search the trees carefully. I also picked a banana flower bud this week for a salad.
Due to the heat, there's not much going on in the vegetable garden. Of course, there's the ever-ready Okinawa Spinach, and a few herbs; Mint, Basil,
Parsley, and Cuban Oregano.

I would love to have the more tropical fruits that you are able to grow in your area. Around my region, only a hothouse and pampering will get you any decent citrus and it just seems like too much fussing for me to give serious thought to it - but if I could grow them out of doors like you do I would be all over it!
What beautiful fruit you are harvesting
What beautiful fruits! I have never heard of some of them. It's interesting to see what people grow in warmer zones.
What does a Starfruit taste like?
Ah to have a heated greenhouse where I could grow such things. I so love the tropical fruits.
You are fortunate to grow them in your backyard. We do some of these but have to take them into our greenhouse in late November.
I am so jealous of all the fruits you are growing! Wow, starfruit is one of my favorites! Yum.
Your tropical fruit harvest is really impressive! I had no idea that all these fruits could be grown "at home." Thanks for sharing your pictures with us!
