NOTE: THE FRUIT IS NOT YET RIPE. I am preparing for another year of the Flinn family mango community giveaway. This has been a long established tradition for the family. See a related prior post of June 15, 2012: Mango season 2012 has arrived! Support your local backyard grower
My daughters have aged out from the yard side mango sales. Too cute. Great times. Fun times while it lasted and I have very fond memories. My loss is the community gain. Once again I look forward to trading and giving away mangoes in 2021.
Participants will once again be doing me a favor by taking the fruit I cannot use. Trades last year included non-mango fruit swaps as well as mangoes in exchange for samples that included mango bread and jam, but no chutney in 2020! This year I have discussed trades for peppers and other goodies. This is our Palmetto Bay community!
Planning for this 2021 season, once again, I want nothing to go to waste (or worse, to rot in my yard). As in years past, I will offer fruit that will NOT suitable for human consumption, but suitable for tortoises and other pets who may not mind that a squirrel took a bite or that the fruit split upon landing - once we are in season, contact me at eugeneflinn@bellsouth.net and we will make arraignments for those to take these fruit (these fruits are kept away from the mangoes that I will be putting out).
Prior related post of February 12, 2021, Mango season is upon us. Yes, I suffered my mango sinus attack this year, but a bountiful mango season will be my (our) reward!
Enjoy!
Your friend and neighbor,
Eugene Flinn
