Hello Everyone!!  It is Friday again so you must be all out having fun!  Here are some pictures from the farm:

Today we harvested our gourds which Gnome will be using to make me a dinner set (GnomeWare TM).  It will be a six month wait for them to completely dry out before he can even start doing anything with them.

It has been frightfully hot lately so I have been drying breadfruit out in the sun.  I had cut the breadfruit into fair-sized chunks of about 1cm (1/2 inch) and it took about three days for them to get to a very hard dehydrated state.

Dried Breadfruit Pieces:

We have these really tasty fruits in season which are crunchy like apples.  This is Ziziphus mauritania, otherwise known as Chinese apple, Indian jujube or Indian plum.

We are just eating them green right now.  They are also edible dried and actually dry into Chinese red dates which are used in Asian cuisine.

Good Night!!
