I live in The US and my mind is back home on the mangoes.Can someone give an update on how the crop is going ? A friend of mine went down a week ago boasting how he is going to feast on the mangoes and crabs. As we say, are the crabs running good?
Can't tell you about the crabs, but your question prompted me to take a walk in my yard with my camera. Hope these photos will answer your question. I can feel the mango juice running down my chin already!
And if that isn't enough to make you homesick . . . here are other photos I took during my walk. And as I am typing this I am watching the Mama hummingbird feeding her babies in that tiny likkle nest.

o m g dont tease us like that what a beauty nu way like yard
Hi Rebecca, This is so beautiful,wish I could get some of those mangoes also,saw some yesterday in the supermarket for $2.99 CA. per LB. that would be about $250 JA. I guess. Regardless of all the social problems JA.is still a great place to be.
I never find good mango in a US super market yet. And, they are DEAR!
The only time I got good mango here was when we lived in Ft. Lauderdale and had trees in the yard.
Thanks Rebecca. The pictures stir so much emotions. Growing up as boy in Jamaica, we kids would start eating the mangoes at the stage of those you showed from your back yard and eat them.Sometimes we would pick them ( which make them ripe faster) then hide them in the grass until they were ripe and we eat them on our way going home from school.
The flowers reminds me of my own little flower garden as a boy and my many failed experiments at budding and graphing.
What beauty? What richness? We are truly blessed.
If you want good mangoes in the U.S. you have to got to a local Asian are Hispanic market.
ONE LOVE !!
Mike
