Quoting David Mann <dmann...@gmail.com>:
First the vitamin F, the delicious feijoa. People either love or
hate this fruit and it's now the time of year when they are
everywhere. We have a small tree at the front of our property but
it's overshadowed by another tree and never really fruited much. I
always thought the lack of light was holding it back, but my wife
has been watering it this season and it's fruited quite well.

Feijoas will drop off the tree when they reach their optimum
ripeness so I've been collecting them from the ground over the past
week. I've made two batches of muffins so far and there are more
fruit to come. My wife doesn't like feijoas so the muffins I made
this morning are destined for the freezer.
While I was out taking that photo I decided to get a quick snap of
my ripening jalapeños. I wish I had a glasshouse as the plants
don't survive the winter. I grow some from seed every year but it
takes the plants a while to get going.

Never tried feijoas - not readily available here as far as i know -
but your Vitamin Js are nice. I have to grow some this year.
