The Brazilian Custard Apple
Monday, May 12th, 2008
The Rollinia is a Custard Apple variant from South America. It’s supposed to taste like lemon meringue pie, so I wish they’d hurry up and ripen.

Banana Thursday
Saturday, May 10th, 2008Thursday at the farm was a day of bananas. First we harvested a bunch of Ladyfinger bananas before the bats or possums could eat them, which involved cutting down the tree (and cutting my finger).
There were around 70 bananas in the bunch – it’s a good thing they ripen more slowly than at the height of summer.
Later, we planted two Goldfinger suckers in a greywater trench.
And – next week, I’ll be designing a guild for a banana circle.
