The muscadine grapes keep coming and coming this year. They are such a treat. When they are golden brown like in the picture below it is the perfect time to pick them.
They are very sweet – almost dessert like. The only downside is that it is a bit of work to get to the sweetness. The skin is pretty tough and tasteless and you have to end up spitting out 3-4 seeds after you get the fruit, but believe me it is so worth it.
I had high hopes for my pineapple but it is no more. Apparently the abundance of rain was too much for the plant and the pineapple turned yellow. I was going to leave it for a while longer but the pineapple smell was strong. I will try to cut it open tomorrow and see if we can eat what is there.
Until next time….
Some photos found and remastered. Originally taken in New York in the winter 2011.
Persian Lime is growing well. No flowers at this time but we are hopeful for the upcoming year.
Grapes are ripening. This year we are making an effort to enjoy them before they go bad. A visit to the garden every couple of days gives us a snack of Muscadine grapes.
The pineapple grows slowly but it gets larger. I can’t wait until it is ready.
