Our mango trees are in bloom. The Carrie already has about fifty baby mangoes on it. Hopefully, half of those will be retained. The Keitt has just begun blooming. We’ll be eating Carries in June and July, Keitts in August and September.

We harvested the last of the Buttercrunch lettuce and arugula this weekend. Eight plants and enough lettuce to share with two neighbors. Midge planted Romaine lettuce and kale. Hopefully, we’ll get a decent harvest before it gets too hot.
Note to self: When it gets very cold down here, open the hood of your vehicle and check to make sure that a rat hasn’t built a nest of dry vegetation on top of your engine.
