So now I slice, core, peel and store. If I want to mash them, like mashed potatoes or a pounded poi type food, or hummus, doing it while it's warm and softer is better. If I want to grate it or dice it or make fries out of it, it can go to the fridge or freezer. It holds it's shape better than most Irish type potato. The teenager ate one plain out of the oven just now, picking at it with two fingers. I had a handful of cubes. The rest is going to the fridge for meals later. I'm pretty happy with the flavor of this variety. Even the mature, not ripe ones have a little bit of sweetness, like artichoke hearts. More sticky, pasty in a good way, creamier. 🤤

I never had a GOOD starfruit in my life, until I lived where they grow. They pick them hard and green commercially, and are bland or sour. In food service, they are often used for decor on elegant desserts, but always disappointing in flavor.
These ripe from the tree are juicy and sweet and stand alone. They are easy to bruise and puncture, and they instantly oxidize and go mushy if that happens. Not a good shelf life, without extra fancy TLC. Better to get them where they grow.

Baby mango trees! Well, and one breadfruit.

Growing mango from seed will not give you the same kind of mango you got the seed from, but growing out seedlings is how you get new varieties!

4 babies have already moved to the outside semi greenhouse, and 1 still hasn't germinated for a total of 15 mango seeds so far this year.

From last year's much, much smaller and more chaotic round (they had to survive multiple transports, 2 hurricanes and 2 freezes), there are still 4 hanging around and 2 are doing very well and have even moved to their permanent spot in the ground.

A group of mismatched small nursery pots with tiny mango trees. They are labeled with black marker on pieces of blue painters tape. All are in an indoor greenhouse with a small fan and led grow lights.

I finished the 2nd half of a very large and perfectly ripe and delicious soursop. I ate the first half yesterday. Soursop is one of those fruits with a very small window of perfection (by my taste) and will hold that spot in the fridge for only a couple days. it has a "weird" texture, it is good frozen into a popsicle or slushie but also freeze dried. 🤤 Sorry no pic, by the time I thought about it, it was a gooey pile of nothing beautiful.
