From the bush farm -- papayas are everywhere...almost every neighbor's backyard farm has a papaya tree, abundant with fruit!
Our produce -- French beans...always good for a quick stir-fry.
Capsicum (bell peppers) -- one of the plants that aren't overwhelmed by those little orange critters!
These pretty French beans are now producing abundant fruit...but picking them in the hot tropical sun is a
"do-it-as-fast-as-i -can" job -- and still, i end up sweating up a storm!
Little Kani, posing with "Maia's capsicum" -- seeds mailed all the way from San Diego, now bearing fruit in Naselesele!
Searing heat and too much rain made it a short growing season for the cucumbers...but the French beans and tomatoes are doing well.
"Maia's cucumbers" -- short and fat...and delicious!
Typical farm scenics in Taveuni...
My backyard, closer to home...a view of the mango tree, treehouse and Ana's laundry from the house window...
Cooking up a lovo -- underground oven -- for what occasion, i've forgotten...
au sa qase!
