Plucking Every Day

When selecting what to grow it is good to try to have a range of fruit available at all times.Even at the leanest time of the year I enjoy grabbing a few fruit to bring in and some to pick and eat while I'm in the yard.I picked a few odds and ends about 10 minutes ago and I'm eating some now.Vegetables are plentiful here through winter but most fruits peak in abundance in summer.

Haha, Mike - clearly you Aussies have beaten us Ugandan members by far with a nice selection even during off-season

Here in So Cal, not much to brag about fruits until mid to late July, then it lasts all the way into Feb/March. I get most of my fruit in fall including guavas, asian pears, apples, Longan & cherimoya (winter).

MangoFang that particular papaya is a seedling of aussie red that wasn't quite true to type perhaps contaminated with sunrise solo genes.It is still much more richly flavoured than the solo types and I do have a solo.I think you might not have heard of the papaya types here as many only have letters and numbers as names, as per the australian papaya seed company and state government bred ones.I have sunrise solo,that one, 2 J series an aussie red and some small ones.I prbably should replant thai long reds and thai dwarfs.All that mention are bisex reds and I will never grow yellows or females.I bet the australian southern red bisex bred for good flavour in cool weather and cold tolerance would be perfect for your area.
