This is a photo of bush mangoes growing in Hank and Jill's garden on the Big Island of Hawaii. These babies are big and juicy. Oh How I wish we could grow them here. I remember when I first went to the Caribbean and was amazed at how many would just be lying all over the ground under the trees . I used to feed them to my then infant son , and he loved them. They are probably my favorite fruit. I have painted my new kitchen the colour mango and also the color of papaya . I think it looks good , and most people say they feel really happy in my kitchen, and I think its because of the colors .
I am also thinking about red currants today... I had a lucious bush of them , probably about 70 years old and very prolific in my former garden on the hillside directly across from where we eventually settled and bought land in November. Those currants were amazing and in the spring I am going to go back and get a few pulls and transplant here at my new garden space , which we have yet to make . It is going to alot of work and I cannot wait to get started! The currants I gathered I made into divinely delicious currant jelly , which I called Rojo Claro .. here is a picture of the berries took last fall when I returned from K'auai . The redness of them is just beautiful , don't you think ? The basket on the left are actually crab apples, which we also made in jelly. This is not a great photo let me try another ...
