We're out of fruits in our house. My husband said he will buy some tomorrow after his duty. His work is a one day duty and one day off.
So, no fruits for today, I thought. Not until I see 2 ripe papayas in our backyard. They really taste very sweet for they are already ripe when I get them from the papaya tree.
Now I have fruits to eat and they are for free. Aside from papaya, I also plant rambutan, mango, lanzones, guava, tambis, guyabano and jackfruit.
Do you plant fruit trees in your backyard?

You have so many fruits in your yard
. The fruit from own yard must be tastier and free from pesticides too. So you can have it without any fear. I too collect the fruits from tree when I visit my native. Here I am living in city and no chance to grow trees.

So nice to harvest your own fruits, and it is organic too! I do not know tambis. Yes, I also plant papaya in the vacant lot near our house though we do not own it, but the subdivision owner allows us to use it while it is vacant. I love gardening whenever I can.

We used to have papaya, mango and banana trees in our garden. Their fruits were fresh and sweet.

I don't think there are fruit trees at my parents' place. But when I was still young, we used to have papaya and mango trees.
