Hurray! My first mangoes harvested!
Actually, one was picked in the first week of Jan 2011 and I can confirm it was not ready, but not far. I kept it wrapped with old newspaper, not one layer but manys. It took days to rippen. During my parent's visit on the 13 - 15 Jan 2011, I cut it and proudly shared with my parent. The taste wasn't the greatest but acceptable. My mum said it could be that I picked it too early. I agreed. 10 days after my parent went back to hometown I had another three picked. Shek Leng commented why don't let my son pick the fruit? Well, it was too late. (A few days later, I noticed one more turned yellowish and called my son to pick. He was reluctant at first but did it). So, I have 4 mango fruits at home. Still many on the tree. I have checked them yesterday and they are nearly ready. How excited!
Another few days to go before we break for chinese new year. I plan to pick most of my mangoes and bring home, just to share.....I was reading an article in 《有福同享》the guy was giving away his hard earn vegetables and fruits from his farm to his friends free, how nice if I can do so?
