Ahhhhh summer!

Summer in Hawaii is outrageous for fruits! So many yummy things are coming to fruit, literally! It would be great if we had a bigger place so we could plant more fruit trees, but maybe in the future...

Last month [well, June, actually], I picked about 3 or 4 five gallon buckets of mangoes - wow! This doesn't include those that we just picked up when we walked by the trees and saw some mangoes on the ground. Many of them were the 'common' mango, which is small and fairly stringy [these were already growing on our property when we bought it], but still! We are also getting Keitts [these cut like butter! and they have an interesting tang to them], Julies [our favorite so far, but the Keitts are not far behind!], and a couple of unknown seedling mango trees that have just started to produce - one of them  produces a mango that is FOUR TIMES bigger than the Julie! Wow! However, the birds really like those, too, and eat most of them on the tree before they have started to ripen! Big Bummer! We're trying paper bags around the mangoes [birds peck thru plastic] to see if that works because we'd really like our work and effort in taking care of the trees to bring us some of that fruit! I have tasted one of these 'unknown' giant mangoes and while the flavor is 'okay' [good, but not as good as the Keitt or Julie], they are still outrageously huge! But, the mango season is almost over [although the Julies can have two seasons in one year sometimes]. The other fruits we are getting: tropical raspberries, soursops, jackfruit, bananas [of course!], papayas, white sapote, mulberries, avocados, acerola cherry, and probably one or two others I'm forgetting. Summer is the time of year when we get the most fruit off our land; winter [Dec thru March] is our slowest season [we might only get a handful of banana bunches, total, during those months, whereas we pick a banana bunch roughly every other day or so during the summer and fall]. Of course, we only have one or two of some of those trees, like we only have one acerola cherry, so we get limited amounts [although plenty for us!]. So summer is the best time of the year to be in Hawaii, although it does get pretty warm [comparatively] in August and September! It was 88 in the shade the other day. Ah.... summer! Lots of fresh and amazing tropical fruits! See our photo album for pictures of many of our fruits! More are posted regularly!
