The 'cooking bananas' I eat a lot of now. They're a kind of
plantain. I eat 'em ripe. This is what they look like when
growing.
|
This is a partial racime (AKA rack) of 'cooking bananas' after
harvesting. They'll be ripe in a few days.
|
I'm holding the HI apple bananas I used to eat a lot in
the early logs. This is back in 1994 before I started eating
this way.
|
These are papayas growing. It's a round type. They are light
to medium orange when ripe. There is an avocado tree in the
background in the center, katuk on the left in back, and apple
bananas in there somewhere..
|
Basil is in the foreground here (it's flowering here)
as well as some chayote vines, papaya beyond it on the right
and left. Avocado is in the center, and banana leaves are
visible to the right of that above. There are some peppers
and various other veggies in there too, but aren't visible.

bowl of Jamaican Lilikoi (orange ones), bowl of strawberry
guava (red ones) with rose myrtle berries (I call 'em fuzzy
blueberries), sprig of katuk (eat leaves, not stems except
at tips)
