Here's what's on the table this week:
Cherry tomatoes have been producing well all summer, even with the heat. I'm growing them in 10-inch pots that are under irrigation out in the nursery.
Persian limes are another daily harvest...
along with the smaller, but plentiful, key limes.
The starfruit harvest seems to have started a little earlier this year. I will be picking these from now until spring (or a hard freeze).
This is the first year I've had a crop from Syzygium smithii (lilly pilly). I'll be profiling this plant soon.
I unthinkingly ate all of the ripe figs before I made my rounds with the camera, so no photos of those today. Who could resist?

I can't blame you for eating the figs!! You have the most wonderful variety of fruit that I could never grow here.
Beautiful. My Key limes are coming in again as well. But, about a month behind yours.
What fabulous fruit!
What a fantastic variety of fruits!!! I think the only one I can grow here is the tomatoes!!! Congrats on your harvest!!!
A friend of mine grows starfruit. Last year, I dehydrated lots of them. Super yummy!
I'd be eating the figs before photographing them too. Yum figs.
You always have such a unique harvest. Lovely. Those Strawberry guavas almost look like a pomegranate. They look nice.
Oh wow. Elderberries are totally an underrated berry. Glad that you've still got some going!
Also. Limes = win.
Oh god, Your fruits look great! Is there seeds in your limes? I guess limes usually are seedless.

Melissa: I've dehydrated them too, but they're better if you cut them in chunks instead of stars. I even like the fresh ones better in chunks. You get more juice in each bite!
Shawn Ann: The strawberry guavas do look like pomegranate, but they're much smaller.
Ben: I agree about the elderberries being underrated. When I take them to the farmers market everyone is interested but no one buys them.
K: The Persian limes are seedless but the key limes have a few seeds.
The fruit look delicious. I'm trying out two types of guava: strawberry and one described to me (on eBay) as "tropical" guava. Not sure which it but I'm looking forward to the fruit.
