PAPAYA : WE GET THE BIGGER...

This week, we got the second papaya from our own tree.
This was bigger than my first one.
My son really loved it.


He was really happy with the fruit that he got.


Papaya is one of his favorite fruit.


Then we split the fruit...
Wow... the color was really striking.


The orange flesh looked so contrast with the black seeds.


The flesh was so sweet and juicy.
It was more than my expectation.
It tastes much better than we thought.


Then I peeled the fruit and cut it.
Finally  I keep the fruit on the refrigerator.
Here they are .... Fruits supply for this week...

  1. A huge fruit. You need to be careful not to walk under that tree - it could do real damage if the fruit fell.

  2. Beautiful picture of your son with the giant fruit and your daughter with her cute kittens. The inside of the Papaya has a great colour and it really does look delicious. So nice to be able to eat your own fruits.

    1. Yes, Caro. I guess the shipping have changed the taste. The fruit will give the best taste if it's eaten fresh from the tree. We can get the best taste also the texture. have a wonderful weekend!

  6. Wow I had no idea papaya fruit is so huge. I love to eat papayas but we get them already sliced and diced so I have never seen a fresh one.

    1. I guess the taste of the sliced and diced papaya is different with the fresh one. I hope someday you will taste it.

  7. What lovely photos of your children. The papaya is amazing, massive! We get them in the supermarket here and they aren't much bigger than an orange. I bet a homegrown tastes fantastic. Lucky you having a tree that produces that.

    1. Thanks CJ! It's much better for us to consume our own product, isn't it? It's more healthy I think. Have a wonderful week!

  10. Wow - you are so fortunate to be able to grow such a beautiful and nutritious fruit for your family!!

    Here in Tennessee, USA, sadly there is no way that a papaya tree could survive our winter. The low temperature here this past winter was -19 Celsius.

    Well, of course there are some temperate fruits one can grow in a cold-winter climate -- such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and maybe even certain kiwifruits! :)

    1. Wow... these berries are very interesting for me, but I can grow them here, I live in middle land tropics. In my tropical hot climate, we have so various variety of perennial fruits also annual. But my tiny garden make me limiting my desire to collect fruit crops.
      Thank you for stopping by Aaron!

    1. Actually the seed will germinated two or three weeks after sowing. And we can pick the first fruit since a year after planting depend on the variety.
      Thank you for stopping by Lynn.
      Happy gardening!
