Default Re: Goldfinger harvest at Christmas

Chloe stuffed herself on Duncan mangos from my tree, and from a basket I bought at Erickson farms. You know the place? It's right up the road from you in Canal Point.

Dale Erickson sold me a Duncan tree 3 years ago, and last year had my first real crop - 14 fruit. It's only 5 ft tall and produces one of the best tasting mangos with no fiber. Big yellow skin fruit weighing over a pound.

Dale also has a bunch of banana mats but he sells them only under contract to a local grocer - not to the public.

The 5th hand of the Goldfinger ripened up yesterday, and breakfast today was cheerios with 4 naners chopped up. Chloe ate 2 - she gobbles them so fast it is amazing she doesn't choke.

Later she tried to snatch the naner peels out of my wife's hand as she tossed them in the trash.
