Summer Harvest in Florida
After our barbecue , we headed north to visit some friends who had invited us to share in their mango bounty. Wasn't that kind of them? Even before making it to the mango trees, we were quite intrigued by the colorful plant near their front door - some type of hot pepper from Ecuador. Of course, our friend shared some with us. I was surprised at how quickly the leaves wilted; hopefully the mini peppers themselves will last until I figure out what to do with them! They must have close to two dozen mango trees of many different varieties, along with many other types of fruit trees, including avocados and bananas, and a new one for me - a sapodilla tree. Look at the wonderful produce they sent home with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, which included sampling mango juice and mango bars and picking mangos. Thank you so much!
