That's a YARD, not a farm? How could you possibly consume that much fruit (unless you have a huge family)? I would think the mangoes alone would bury you! [Unless they are young and you have them planted very close together so their output is low.]

I would think the mangoes alone would bury you! [Unless they are young and you have them planted very close together so their output is low.]We moved here 4 years ago and started planted fruit trees before rehabing our house. So far, we have only had a surplus of bananas and passion fruit and haven't had problems getting rid of extras Should be interesting in the years to come.

What type of strawberries are you growing?I wish I knew what varieties of strawberries we have. Our children went to Earthbox in Palmetto last fall and tasted the berries in their pre-planted boxes and purchased the boxes with the sweetest and most flavorful berries. With the Pitogo, the fruit handled the winter very well. We lost the fruit in Blue Java and Pisang Jaribuaya, but the Pitogo fruit (and plant) look as if we had no winter at all. We live in a pocket that reached 32 for an hour one morning.
