Baby mango trees! Well, and one breadfruit.

Growing mango from seed will not give you the same kind of mango you got the seed from, but growing out seedlings is how you get new varieties!

4 babies have already moved to the outside semi greenhouse, and 1 still hasn't germinated for a total of 15 mango seeds so far this year.

From last year's much, much smaller and more chaotic round (they had to survive multiple transports, 2 hurricanes and 2 freezes), there are still 4 hanging around and 2 are doing very well and have even moved to their permanent spot in the ground.

Given the truly horrible politics now occurring in Florida, I do my best to remember what is good there.

In Florida, we also had fruit in our own back yard. Did you know that baby bananas and pineapple have delicate little flowers? Banana flowers look like tiny pale orchids, and each eye of a pineapple bears a blue flower.

Also pictured, the pineapples when they ripened (coconuts in the tree in the background,) and meyer lemons.

Just finished the 2nd half of a very large and perfectly ripe and delicious soursop. I ate the first half yesterday. Soursop is one of those fruits with a very small window of perfection (by my taste) and will hold that spot in the fridge for only a couple days. it has a "weird" texture, it is good frozen into a popsicle or slushie but also freeze dried. 🤤 Sorry no pic, by the time I thought about it, it was a gooey pile of nothing beautiful.

Star Fruit is a delicious, sweet, tropical fruit that is easily grown in the Florida landscape. It derives it’s name because when cut cross-wise, the fruit has a star shape. Enjoyed as a dessert or snack at anytime of the day. Textures applied to a photo taken in a friend’s yard.

Found this little assassin bug on a pitangatuba in my sunroom. He looks well fed. Who’s a good boy?

As a Festivus gift to myself and the spouse, I got sapodillas from an online source.

Sapodillas are among very, very few things I miss from the Florida years. They taste like pears soaked in caramel and cinnamon syrup.

I'm not sure why sapodillas aren't more widely available - maybe because they resemble ugly dinosaur eggs? Or the wickedly barbed, poisonous seeds?
