Ulu galore, first white pineapple of the year, mountain apples very late this year, lemons soon, papayas, anthuriums, heliconias and gingers kicking flower butt. And then my ongoing battle of the vegetables... sigh... pumpkin and chayote squash set fruit which then quickly rots, just a few cherry tomatoes so far, basil doing well, Old Brooks tomatoes on their way... maybe. But no cukes uh uh never again ever since I picked a big beautiful cuke, cut it open and found the entire inside completely filled with big green worms. People say not to get emotionally attached to your plants but itʻs difficult. The thrill of victory; the agony of defeat.
Certainty will be the death of us.
