Me very happy in the garden near the office of our mushroom company in Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia.
THIS is how mangoes grow!
What a sight to hold them in your hands like that...
For husband Pieter it was a discovery as well.
Too bad it is not yet ripe or I would eat it!
By the end of November they're ripe and ready for transport to the fruit markets.
East Java has a very delicious sweet variety and while living in Indonesia we bought LOTS of them, fresh at the local market.
Have you ever seen mangoes on a tree?
A very tasty fruit. Many different varieties too.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteYes, there are different varieties but most are just delicious.
Hugs,
Mariette
No, I've never seen mangoes on a tree, Mariette, so this is a first. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDearest Martha Jane,
DeleteGlad you now got to see how they grow and for us it was quite a sight as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
No, I haven't. I ate one one time when I loved in central Florida. I love seeing fruits on a tree, no matter which ones they are.
ReplyDeleteDearest Katie Isabella,
DeleteIt sure is a very regular staple for both of us. Mangoes with Trader Joe's no fat (lowest sugar content on the market as well) Greek Yogurt is so yummy!

My son Carl and I love mangoes... in fruit salads, in salsas, in margaritas!! Would love to see them growing ~~ lucky you.
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteWe both also love them very much!
It was great for seeing how they develop on the tree.
Hugs,
Mariette
Wow!
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes, a big wow for seeing the growth of any tropical fruit.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, There are lots of mango trees here, especially a small variety that is green (but sweet) when ripe. There was a tree in a public space near my old apartment, and I used to pick the fruit. By the way, I favor mangoes when they are not quite ripe and still hard--they have the best acid flavor then, and are not so sweet. You can often find them like that in the supermarkets in the U.S. Try one and cut it before it gets soft, and you'll see!

Dearest Jim,
DeleteYou were lucky for being able to pick the fruit yourself.
Yes, I too love them that way but Pieter being the very sweet guy, prefers them ripe and I too love that.
Hugs,
Mariette
Es una fruta tropical, que generalmente la encuentro en los Mercados.
ReplyDeleteMe gusta la fruta en general.

Querida Antónia,
DeleteAl igual que tú, me encantan las frutas y las llevamos aquí frescas y la mayoría de las otras variedades también.
Abrazos,
Mariette
My dad loved mangos
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteIt is one of our favorite fruits!
Hugs,
Mariette
We have a small mango tree in our back garden, but we only get about 30 mangoes a year. They are very sweet and fragrant. I love mangoes!
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
DeleteYou are lucky for having your very own supply! We love them too and they are a favorite fruit like cherries, raspberries...
Hugs,
Mariette
I have a mango tree in my garden Mariette, the home grown mangoes always taste better than store bbought 💜
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
DeleteYes, you are fortunate for being in the proper climate zone and yes, fully ripened on the tree gives the best flavor!
Hugs,
Mariette
Nice menue, mangos with mushrooms :-D
ReplyDeleteBest regards
Bernhard
Dearest Bernhard,
DeleteDon't know where you saw this 'menu'...?
Hugs,
Mariette
Magnificent photos.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any mangoes in nature. I buy mangoes from time to time - i. H. they are picked ripe and a pleasure to eat. Sweet and juicy. Splendid.
Many greetings to you. Viola
Ach ja :-) Englisch geschrieben... aber ich will ja üben! Hab eine wunderbare Zeit. In ein zwei Tagen wird der Flieder im Garten blühen, die Tulpen verblühen bereits. Es ist herrlich draussen.
Umarmung.
Liebe Viola,
DeleteDanke, ja die Mangos wachsen ja nur in wärmeres Klima und sogar nicht bei uns hier in Georgia.
Dein English ist ja sehr gut; mann lernt nur durch Übung.
Wie ich euch beneide um den Flieder im Garten, hier ist es zu warm dafür, wir sind subtropisch hier. Genießt den Duft und die Blüten!!!
Ganz lieber Gruß,
Mariette
One of the fruits I like the most. You can make many desserts in addition to being delicious to eat natural.

Dearest Christina,
DeleteYes, I'm right with you there! Mango Lassi is also delicious and so many others.
Of course, eating it pure and fresh is also heavenly.
Hugs,
Mariette
