White Mulberry Cross

Picked today in the Angel Street permaculture Garden near my home. A wonderful  "white mulberry" cross cultivar. "Morus Alba is the latin name for the white mulberry, and researching it i found all differet parts of the plant are used for medicinal purposes. This variety of mulberry seems to fruit early in life, and grow very fast. It is an ideal addition if you have the room in a permaculture garden. These fruit were very sweet and juicy! (even though they are white and dont look quite ripe>they are!)

MONSTERA DELICIOSA!

The wondefully named fruit from the ordinary looking houseplant, my monstera deliciosa will be ready when the bottom parts start to turn pale and look like they are ready to be eaten. It tastes like a combination between custard apple and banana..They are often called the "fruit salad plant"!!

My mother in law told me these buds could also be cooked and eaten, although im not sure i am willing to try until i get some more information!! anyone know of the scientific name of this plant?? How do you cook it?? thanks!

MOUNTAINS OF MULBERRIES!

                                               
Today i have been eating Mountains of Mulberries! Out on the ladder high in the wind blown branches! Thinking of making jam with all these berries! A couple of years ago a seedling appeared from nowhere in the garden, i imagine a bird dropped a mulberry flying overhead, now we have so many berries I dont know what to do with them, mulberry tress seem to fruit even when they are still very young!

Our Jackfruit Tree

WOW!! We have a huge and mysterious fruit growing in the back yard, i have discovered it is called a JACKFRUIT TREE. Apparently it is a delicacy in tropical regions and I am looking forward to trying it. My research says it can be eaten as a fruit, when it is very ripe , but also as a vegetable when it is still green!! I love this way of using produce in Asian cooking, especially when you are growing it yourself and there is a sudden glut of fruit. It definatelty makes sense to use it throughout its growing cycle!
