Autumn must have arrived, as the autumn fruit are starting to ripen. I picked up nearly a bucketful of walnuts yesterday and there are quite a few feijoa coming ripe too. Along with the fresh eggs and the last of the tomatoes, it's quite a harvest.
Dunno about the feijoa, but the rest look yummo. We had a good walnut tree, but once the cockies found it they stripped the tree bare every year while the nuts were green. So we got rid of the walnut tree to get rid of the cockies. Wish we could think of another way of getting rid of the grey-headed flying foxes that stripped our apricot tree the night before we were going to pick all the fruit. They'll be back every year now.
@golftragic feijoas seem to be a fruit you either love or hate. I was laughing as I read your bit about the cockies - thinking cow cockies (as we call farmers in NZ) - thinking what a mean neighbour you must be not to share.... bit slow on the uptake sometimes!
@dide We have cow cockies here too, and the word is also used sometimes (in the bush) to refer to some farmers. But the ones I was referring too are large, white with yellow crests, huge voices, voracious appetites and destructive habits. And the beggars are protected!!!
You are going into winter with a bountiful harvest and we are waiting for spring and the planting season. So neat how 365 brings us all together with great shots like this!
