This week I have three round birthdays in my calendar!
Congrats to all:
how funny to turn 20 in the year 20 - Annie!
Vollie maybe celebrates his 60th with his family.
It kind is a bit sad to turn 50 in the corona year,
no party, no celebration - but Kirrie will have some action
on her round day, for sure. Girls just wanna have fun.
I tell you, no parties, no fun in Germany.
Well, hardly anywhere in the world this year.
So let's enjoy the nature.
Here some boring garden pics.
Take me home, country road ... tra la la la laa.
My pomelos are getting ripe.
A rose with a fly. Many flies in the house.
This year finally testing these, let's see what happens in winter.
My "mano de Buddha" is also changing colour,
meaning it's ripening as well.
Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis, or the fingered citron, is an unusually
shaped citron variety whose fruit is segmented into finger-like sections,
resembling those seen on representations of Buddha. (Wiki)
Every now and then mushrooms.
Pomegranate explosion!
Nispero - Mispelchen.
Eriobotrya japonica
Flowers now, fruit to be enjoyed in April.
The flowers of this strawberry bush remind me of lingonberry flowers.
This climbing beauty is not really liked here as it takes over everything.
Remember these flowers from my May postings?
It's the Acca tree.
Acca sellowiana
Now we get the fruit!
I like it, the structure is similar to a pear and the taste?
Dunno. But it tastes good.
Wikipedia has more information:
The fruit, known as feijoa maturing in autumn, is green, ellipsoid, and
about the size of a chicken egg. It has a sweet, aromatic flavour, which
tastes like pineapple, apple, and mint. The flesh is juicy and is divided into a
clear, gelatinous seed pulp and a firmer, slightly granular, opaque flesh nearer
the skin. The fruit falls to the ground when ripe and at its fullest flavour,
but it may be picked from the tree prior to falling to prevent bruising.

Or; what is left over in a salad bowl .
Was a nice vinaigrette with herbs from our garden.
