- Got three "namwa" banana bunches. I've tried namwas from other people which are absolutely delicious, they are small and dense and packed full of tropical flavor. They chit all over store bananas. Haven't got any fruit yet but the big one should be fruiting any day now.

- Alphonso mango tree. Planted three years ago and just started flowering so I anticipate getting some fruit this spring/summer. The alphonso is generally agreed to be the best mango variety in the world.

- Lychee tree. Planted three years ago with the mango, going to get fruit in the next year or so.

- Papaya tree. I had a previous tree which I harvested about 100 papayas from and grew this tree from a seed from one of those papayas. This tree is 13 months from sprouting and is already loaded with papayas.

- Mamey Sapote tree. Just planted a couple weeks ago, should be 3-5 years to fruit. Mamey Sapote supposedly taste like a cooked sweet potato/ pumpkin pie.

- Jabuticaba tree. Planted a few months ago, it's a slow growing tree so could be 5 or more years till fruit. These are ping pong sized grape-like fruit that grow directly out of the trunk of the tree. It's pretty bizarre, you should Google it.

- Choquette avocado tree. Just planted this about two months ago. Avocados are relatively fast growing, hoping to get fruit within 3 years.

- Jackfruit tree. Just planted a couple months ago. Jackfruit is very fast growing, going to get fruit in 1-3 years.

- Coconut palm. This was actually planted from a coconut that I picked up from the ground and sprouted.

Not shown are a mulberry tree and three fig trees in pots, a muscadine grape vine and a passionfruit vine on my pool fence, lots of pineapple plants in my front yard, and some pots of strawberries and herbs. I've harvested figs, grapes, passionfruits, and strawberries.

I figure in 5-10 years when all the trees are full size I'll be balling in tons of free tropical exotic fruits.

Mirin hard

I loe e.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

Just took some more pics...

Mango tree is loaded up with tiny mangoes. June is mango picking season so still have another few months for these to mature. These will be the first mangoes from this tree (planted three years ago):



Already picked two papayas from this tree which is 14.5 months old from a seed. Papayas are ready to pick when they are roughly half yellow, and then will continue to ripen on the counter until fully yellow. These next two will be picked in the next few days:



My potted mulberry tree is in full fruiting mode. Just picked a handful. This is it's first full bloom (I've picked a few random mulberries in the past, but never been completely full of berries). They are very sweet, flavor most similar to a blackberry but less tart and more sweet:





And finally my pineapple plant which I planted a little over two years ago from the top of a store-bought pineapple. It just started producing a fruit a few weeks ago. Still have a few more months for it to fully mature:

Update over the past six months:

I ended up picking two pineapples. When allowed to fully ripen on the plant, it turns completely yellow and is the sweetest most intense flavored pineapple you'll ever have:







The banana tree just flowered with bananas and another stalk is about to flower again. Will be a few months before these ripen:





After completely flowering in the spring and producing tons of tiny mangoes, only one ended up staying on long enough to eat. I'm hoping next year it should hold on to a moderate sized crop. This one small mango though was amazing, fiberless texture and intense flavor:

and over the summer I picked probably about 100 passion fruits:





And a never ending supply of papayas:
