Charlie and the boys harvested our first hand of bananas today. they're strung up outside Charlie's office in the back yard. tiny little finger bananas - we'll keep them on the stalk and hope they ripen. cucumbers, chillies and pumpkins are all thriving, rhubarb is making a comeback, lettuce doing well, eggplant and capsicums are in flower... parsley, borage and rocket are sprouting. there are eight lemons on the maya tree, two on the fruit salad citrus and three ruby red grapefruit coming along - the few that survived the baby fruit cull. i tried to pull off the baby fruit for the first two years while the trees establish, but it felt so sad pulling off over thirty plums, and all the other baby fruits on the trees, i left a few lemons on the maya tree. the grapefruit snuck under the radar, i'm so pleased they did.
