There seem to be a lot of gardens with papayas fruiting at the moment. I'm guessing it must be the time of year for them in some of the Asian countries. Here in Australia my plums are ripening, but over in the northern hemisphere it's winter, so not as much activity is happening in gardens there.
That said, @fotostef has been rather surprised at how late winter seems to be coming in Greece. Many of his plants that should be dormant are merrily active and looking rather lovely and photogenic.
And speaking of papayas, @afterglow experimented with saving and sprouting some seeds from one a few months ago and I was keen to see how they would go. It seems they went well and now he's planting out four robust seedlings in their permanent locations.
@zpek offers a peek at what is grown in the family garden leading with a bumper apple harvest and following up with some insights into his gardening practices.
I'll wrap up with @calendulacraft's foraging collection from a few days ago. Such a pretty basket full of goodies and a pesto recipe to boot. I'm intrigued by those algarroba pods, as I've never heard of them before.
