I finally got tired of the birds, possum, raccoon, and squirrels going after the mangos. So, besides the 40 I have on the dining room table I also have all these to ripen and process.

I picked the first pineapple for this season, it's a little scarred up from the hail storm.
About 20 to go. Probably going to be pineapple sorbet on the menu.

I let some of the mango seeds dry off and removed the outer husk. They are pretty big seeds. I'm going to plant them and see what comes up.
Mango is usually polyembryonic. Some resemble the mother (clones), others can be very different... If I remember correctly, the shoots that appear first and all look more or less alike are clones of the mother. The others are bastards

The last round of these that I saved and planted(about a dozen) about 3 years ago only had two that were poly., the others just grew a single shoot and one of those(even though not very big) produced fruit this year. I'll just keep rolling the dice!

So I went out this morning to throw some scraps in the compost tumbler and I see this:
I proceeded to pick it out and found that one of the mango seeds had sprouted!
I then threw my scraps in and gave it the normal one revolution. Then I figured what the heck and opened the cover again and what do you know, another sprouted mango seed.
Potted up.

Well, here's another thread I let slide way to long. Not much going on in my pepper world right now but I have plenty of "other" going on so I'll make a few posts covering that stuff.
I'll start with my Passion Fruit "wall", currently over the top of the 10 ft trellis.......and then up a tall banana tree and beyond.
Hundreds and hundreds of buds and flowers
And of course fruit
I also have a couple of rouge pineapples again this year, we harvested 22 when the majority became ripe.
