Hello Hive

Here goes one of the fruits that contains a lot of vitamins and can provide you your daily need of vitamins. I learnt that taking at least 2 of these can provide your daily need of vitamins C.

Apart from these mangoes also serve as food for alot of us here.

It's surprising to note that this particular fruit doesn't mature up or ripen during the raining seasons unless during the dry seasons. The raining seasons is often the farming period where we grow most crops and harvest them for storage. But most fruits prefer to ripen during the dry season and heat period. Palm oil is usually very surplus during this time as well as palm nuts ripens
from the effects of severe heat.

If the dry season is the better season for maturing of these fruits some basic care and cautions must be taking in order not to eat what will make us sick . Mangoes can get ripen poorly from extreme exposure to the hot sun, this kind should be avoided. My late mum taught us how to allow at least a first rain to fall on these fruits before we go picking them for harvest.

A few mango trees have been growing in this location and it's a good thing that people can have this to eat for free. Practically everything is expensive at this time and two of this fruits is sold for $0.2 cents.

I decided to follow the crowd with my sister to go pick free fruits yesterday. Majority of the fruits are yet to ripen which is good.

The rains are just about to return and when we have rains the weather is cooler and better appropriate for fruits to ripen well.

We found different trees carrying different species and tastes of the same fruit. Mangoes have been given different names based on the type of species available, and you would even hear of some where the local populace will call it a local name like kerosene, noting that the taste of such fruit is similar to kerosene. In the meantime, we are already enjoying some free fruit trees here, and we may likely go to pick some more as more ripen.

The people who cannot afford to enter the farms or bush will have no choice but to purchase expensive fruits in town. What fruits are you having on your dinner table today? Since we all know how important it is to add fruits to our diets.
