Tasting Tuesday

 
Autumn has arrived on the coast...if it weren't for tamarillos and fejoas, you wouldn't really notice the change of season as our climate is pretty mild and we are surrounded by beautiful native evergreen forrest!
 
 It was time to shake the tree and see what was ready...these glowing orbs have been the focus of much attention these last few weeks and patience was wearing thin...so it was time to harvest a few!
 There was another special tree in our garden that was hung this time with beautiful green orbs...like ornaments on a Christmas tree...
 Tasty treats ready for the chop!
just how HUGE are our fejoas!
 What do you think Mr Fantail?
 Tasting time...
 Well that didn't last very long!
 Our Tamarillos proved VERY popular and we had to reload with a 2nd lot!
So popular were our Tamarillos that everyone requested one to take home for their parents to try...
