Pictured here is a Caribbean Red papaya and some purple beans - they loose their purple colour when cooking them.
Just as I thought the winter is over, we're expecting another round of arctic weather coming our way tonight. I've been looking at the grey overcast skies with great expectation, hoping for a few drops of rain, but nothing so far. Ahead of the arrival, we've been experiencing gusts of wind probably up to 40 mph. It knocked over some of my grow houses, negating months of rooting, hardening off and growing cuttings. By Wednesday evening temperatures will drop into the 30's, probably killing the Sanchezia's and maybe even my Catura Coffee plants.

Fun reading! I enjoyed reading this. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFresh papaya? I'm jealous. But then you have those winds ... The pics from the previous post are great, too. I love before and afters.
ReplyDeleteHi blossom, glad you enjoyed !
ReplyDeleteHi Gardeness, its great to have all these fruit available, but the winds are a constant threat. I think most people think we are only plagued by hurricanes, but even an afternoon thunder shower can be accompanied by 50mph winds, uprooting small unestablished trees, flattening perennials and annuals.
