Another day, another batch of guavas. I shouldn't sound so blase...we've waited three years for this bumper-crop harvest.
My wife made some jam out of the weekend's harvest and we've been snacking on the ripe fruit too. If you've never had it, it's kind of like a real sweet apple, mixed with a real sweet pear, with a dash of ripe banana thrown in. You just bite in, like you would for an apple.
One thing I'd forgotten in the last three years...the very pungent aroma of ripening guavas. Not to be too blunt, but think of a sweet smelling version of cat pee. It's close to overwhelming at times so we let them ripen in the garage.
Hope I don't have to fight off the tomcats to get in...
In other fall food news, our citrus is starting to show it's color. This is our Cara Cara navel orange.
The chiles are non-stop on the production this year. I've even used some as mulch on other plants because we just cannot eat or process enough to keep up.
What should be the last dragon fruit is on it's way to ripeness.
We've go a few tomatoes on the way...
...and lastly, it looks like we'll have a crop of Thanksgiving zucchini.
