The flesh of the fruit was salmon-orange-pink, and fragrant. We carefully scooped out the flesh, and tried a few bites. It was just Ok, not really having much flavor. Oh well, what do you expect from store brought fruit?
![]() Happy Halloween! Happy Halloween! Instead of a pumpkin, I thought it would be fun to carve a papaya. Boy #1 and I picked one out at HEB, and brought it home to try. It turns out that papayas are actually a lot like pumpkins anatomically. We sliced it in half, and scooped out all the guts and little black seeds. I'll try to plant some of the seeds, and maybe grow some papayas this next year. Scott Johnsgard grows them in The Woodlands, and gets tens of pounds of fruit every year.
