Papaya

Today we picked our first papaya grown from seed:



We've always had plenty of papaya from the other side of the island but it's nice to have our own too. We won't be going short anyway. I planted these last year on Aug 12, so it took a year and a couple of weeks from seed to fruit.

They need to be picked when they just start turning yellow as in the photo, otherwise the bats and rats get them.

  1. Nice to see the delicious harvest starting to bear fruit. Quite jealous.
