The yard already has lots of fruit trees, but since everything grows here, we plant lots of the seeds we get in fruit to grow even more. Here are some of the babies in the nursery before we plant them in the larger food forest area.
Ice cream beans:
Pineapples:
Lilikoi:
Farther down the yard, toward the orchard, Paul carved out part of this old palm tree log, and made a nice spot for the strawberries to grow.
Our tomatoes only put on these TINY tomatoes. Smallest I've ever seen.
Some banana trees are growing, despite Paul weed whacking around the ti leaf plant and completely (or so we thought) killing the bananas. But they just kept growing back. So now we've left it alone for a little while and they're looking really good.
Getting some more oranges, and lemons.
In the food forest were growing lots of things, like cinnamon, lilikoi, noni, mulberry, soursop, longsat, longan, lychee, dwarf temple tangor, and bazillion plums. The mulberry and the tangors are already producing.
In the back yard, our starfruit trees are putting on ANOTHER (3rd time in a calendar year) season! Tons of starfruit, but all small this time. They still taste delicious despite being so small, about the size of two small apples stacked on one another, and some as small as an apple. Previous seasons brought fruit longer than my hand, wrist to tips of fingers.
Some pretty flowers growing wild in the yard. There are too many to take pictures of them all, but the wild orchids that pop up from no where will always be my favorite.
