That's quite the harvest!! I have two pineapple guava bushes and I don't ever see any fruit on them. . . lots of interesting-looking flowers, but no fruit.
Next time it blooms (next Year) look at the flowers, they have 4 pink segments. Pick them off and eat them, it is a real "tropical" flavor.
And Have you used a Nasturtium flower in a salad? They have the nectar of the flower & a lil peppery from the leaves. . .Nasturtium's grow like weed's in my yard.

Happy Wednesday all. A mild sunny morning. My new hip is feeling good, still need to use a walker to get about (and be safe). Dr said I need to take it easy for 3 months - all bets off if I accidentally fall doing something goofy. Luckily, I can get out to feed the birds, and go down into the basement and work on my lathe. ?
Yes. And I'm giving you advice that is so hard to keep myself. If there's no pain I will overdue it but I've learned the hard way... don't do that ? I'm pretty sure you're much worse then me at behaving myself ??

LED's are the way to go! Lil pricey, but they stay kool, last forever and if one DOES go out the rest stay lit.View attachment 337896
I made the jump 7 years ago
That's what I use everywhere in my house and on my permanent decorated tree ? I never take it down. I just turn the lights on ? Most of my family were born in December so it's more like a month long celebration. The other part were born around Easter so both seasons are kinda obliterated by birthday parties and they ain't getting 2... whatever. It's their fault for getting born when they did.?

I hate those pesky lights….I never have the patience to find the bulb & replace (wifey does). Lights are so darn cheap these days, we often just buy a new string of lights & throw them on. A lot easier ?
I wouldn't throw out the rest for the sake of one bulb, so I just have to persevere until I find it. I am a very patient person and the family often bring me tangled jewellery to separate.
I love a challenge!!

We have strawberry guavas here too, I never thought of making jam, what a great idea!
Well, I just hate wasting a good Harvest. I made the 24 - 1/2 Pints of Plum jam, and figured 24 was enough, so I turned the rest into the fruit leather. Turned out to be a tasty snack.

I hate to waste a good harvest too. That's why I tried my hand at Crab Apple jelly this year. My Crab Apple tree went nuts and I thought maybe the good Lord is trying to tell me something. I haven't made jelly for 30 or more years. There's no way I could even save most of it because there was so much it was breaking limbs.

Have you heard of the Book: "Duck, there's a Goose in the House" How to Enjoy Waterfowl As Pets
By Nancy L. Townsend
This web page has a kind of synopsis of the book. The book was a very easy read. . .
oh cool! Thank you! I’ll give it a read:)
