Parsley and tomatoes!

Never before saw parsley blooming. How pretty! And we got to taste our first tomato this year! LOVELY taste!

Best Fruit Ever!

We have several Pitahaya plants growing on the farm now. Really lovely fruit! And so pretty, too!

Avocados from our own tree are the best!

Even if they look a little bit funny and are not perfectly formed - they taste super! There are just always sooo many!

The Veggie Garden

Robbie is doing a veggie garden project together with some neighbors and workers, they are planting cabbage, tomatoes, peppers and some corn to keep the bugs out. Neat little garden. Soon, we will plant some watermelons!!! I just have to eat the one I have to get the seeds out :-)




And even when it doesn't rain, there is always water from all the new catchment containers!

Now! The Favorite! But not ripe yet ... Mangoes ... mmmhhhhh


Just a few weeks more and I can pick the mangoes off one of our mango trees!! Can hardly wait!! And then I will make some yummy jam and cakes ... or just eat them as usual, sinking my teeth into this wonderful fruit while hanging over the kitchen sink :-) It sure dribbles a lot!

And one more Fruit: Green Plums


Robbie and I don't like them so much, but the people here are crazy about them, so we sold a bucket of green (sour) plums to David's dad, who went to sell them at the market for a little profit. They are sold in small plastic bags with about twenty plums and they are refreshing - I tried them, but I don't care for them a lot, way too sour for me ...

It's Cashew Time once more



This time we just ate some of the fruit, but didn't process the nuts. There weren't too many, because the birds got quite a few and some Chinese people wanted some, so we gave them a bag full. The fruit part above the nut (that grows AFTER the nut) is very refreshing and leaves a slightly numb feeling ("taubes Gefühl") on the lips. They are nevertheless very tasty!
