Our friend Lulu took us to her grandfather's farm today. In a pretty small area he has:
|
avocado |
|
banana |
|
grapes |
|
guava (inside plastic bags) |
|
longan berry |
|
papaya |
|
pineapple |
|
taro |
But the reason we went to the farm was to pick lychees.
The season is only about a month long so everyone has to eat their fill now. And they are being sold everywhere - in the fruit markets, at the 7-11, from carts on the sides of the roads. It was quite a treat to drive out of the city and have the chance to pick our own. In about 10 minutes Lee and I had picked two grocery bags worth. This is what they looked like after I'd stripped off the leaves and trimmed the stems:
The orchard was nestled in the hills about 45 minutes drive from the city and beautiful.
