Our yard has been very productive with passion fruit, bananas, avocados, and guavas while the neighbors can add lemons, tangerines, and oranges. Never having lived in CA or FL, this seems like a minor miracle - having fruit in our yard just dropping out of trees. The passion fruit are so high up in our trees that they sound like bombs dropping on our tin roof. One hit the other day during nap time, and from Tessa's room, I heard a startled "Oh! ha ha ha." We give away what we can't eat, which is also a nice benefit. By the way, avocados here are considered fruit, so we're no longer surprised to see them served in a fruit salad or sliced along with papaya and pineapple served at breakfast.

I'm so jealous - i can't wait to get further into Spring and summer so that we can have fresher produce!
I love anecdotes like this--"bombs" dropping on the roof! Wow! I too am jealous about the abundance of fresh fruit (but I would be VERY upset to have said fruit interrupt naptime!) ;o)
