Costa Rica Garden Show!

My favourite fruit for many years now is Alfonso (honey) mango, which originate from Pakistan and are only in Season in May each year. I can eat them by the box.

yea, we get 3-4 different kinds grown here. i love them all. i can eat mangos for days. lol. the two kinds you see the most are a small green one and the larger pinkish ones. i don't know their names but the little ones tend to be sweeter.

This fruit is evil. Some hotels in Asia don't permit it as it stinks so bad. Some say it's like custard apple, more like sludgy egg. This is my least favourite fruit - Durian.





This is Rambutan:

They grow on trees, u must mean grown, not sown. If it wasn't for carbs I could just eat fruit all day (but there's not enough in it) In Spain we grow a lot of figs, almonds, weed and wine.

i've never seen that first one before. looks kinda like a guanabana on the outside but not totally. and the inside is different. the rambutan is called a mamon chino here in Costa Rica.

Must originate from China then. I remember being in a supermarket years ago at home in London and the cashier didn't know what fruit I had so she had to look at a picture card - it was only a kiwi !!!!!!! She was quite old and I doubt she'd ever left the country.

good call on the china thing. didn't think of that. there are mamon and mamon chino. the mamon chino is a lot more popular. lots of chinese here as well. the trees and fruit have been here forever though. i'll have to see if they are native. time for a little research. lol.

thanks bro. still got some fine trimming to do after they dry out a little more. buds are super dense though. should be a nice harvest from 1 plant. being lazy today. still got 2 and a half left to do. lol.

Wow, Nice weather, nice land, nice buds, and when you get the munchies, you have all kinds of healthy snacks hanging all around your properties...maybe you might have to fight a howler or two for a banana but that just makes things fun.

what up free? how's it going? thanks for stopping by. howlers...that's too funny. they are noisy fuckers but they tend to stay further out of the populated areas. i get them up here by the house a few times a year. man can they make some noise. lol.

the ones you gotta worry about are these guys. titi and capuchen. they'll come in your house and steal shit. lol. plus the capuchen are nasty fuckers sometimes.
