Today we picked a pineapple.  It does not sound like much but this is one that we grew from a top that we planted over 2 years ago.

We may never be self-sufficient but is it great to know that there is yet another fruit that we can grow successfully.  There are at least another 8 or more that we have planted since that first one.  None have set fruit yet but I am optimistic.

The Duke also noticed that the last mango on the tree was ready.

Fresh fruit that was picked this morning from within 20 metres of our house.

No pesticides, no fertilisers, no food miles.  It doesn’t come much better than that.
