Bumper crop of granadillas, never seen the strawberry guava, these fruits make delicious syrups to preserve and store.
Season here for guavadillas just starting with first few dropping to the floor once again, time is right for February. Soon we will be sipping away at delicious homemade juice again. I make ours with lemons.
Let Marian enjoy the kitchen on cool days !LUV
!LOLZ
So now there you have it. You have guavadillas which I have never seen, and we have the strawberry guava that you have never seen. This is a very interesting country, as there are so many differences.
Glad to know that you will also have a lot for juices.
Only a few cool days here lately, as Feb is our hottest month. Already into the 30Cs.
!LUV and !LOLZ
February is normally scorching hot here, hope more cold fronts sneak through the back door.
Homemade juice so refreshing, waiting and watching to collect enough to start 1st batch.
!LUV to yourself and Marian
!PIZZA
Oh yeah, I know how we struggled when we worked on the high towers of the powerline over there. the. A proverbial oven.
We picked the first batch today, and we discovered a tiny golden beetle. Never seen one before and they obviously also favor the strawberry-guava fruits.
!PIZZA and !LUV also to you guys.
Slow boil again today, tomorrow perhaps a bit cooler, take the weather as it comes try plan around it.
Now first fruits showing their should be some fall to the ground, hopefully the monkeys don't test too many before fully ripe.
!LOLZ
Yep, we are also getting hotter here again, and had to get a small humidifier in the hope that it will help with the sore throats that we get every night from the dry air.
Reminds me of the games that we had with the squirrels gunning for the dropped fruits. In your case it is the monkeys. !LOLZ
Humidifier is the last thing you need here, summer colds doing the rounds with hot/cold sudden temperature changes, take care!
On the very hot nights, we run the aircon for short periods, and then it dries the air out. Sore throats both of us, and now the humidifier fixes that. Most of the people here walking around coughing and spluttering due to the quick weather changes. !LOL
Never sleep under an aircon, a few fans suffice at night with windows open, one thing I cannot do is sleep in a closed up room.
