A fruitful walk ;)

This is the bounty from our walk today! This morning we went past a farm in the neighbourhood overflowing with these huge Gourds ( I think!) with a sign saying "Please take". Why, thank you. Then, on the way home we went past a property that has fruit trees spilling over & chose some perfect Guava's from the grass beneath the tree. I think that the other fruit might be an unripe Persimmon?

The same place also has a tree heavily laden with Durian fruit! In case you haven't come across it before the flesh inside is super sweet & yummy but apparently smells like rotting flesh! Charming! The boys were begging me to go & ask if we could have one (like they'd be willing to try it!!) but there was a gate. And a dog. We have to settle with this photo ;)

EDITED: Thanks to a very observant reader (thanks kweker!) I am now informed that this is a Jackfruit not a Durian! Kweker called it a 'Nangka' which after reading up on wiki seems to be the South Asian name. Actually, after her comment this week I saw a few of these at the farmers market & that's where I realised that it was what we call a Jackfruit.  And... it doesn't smell bad! Hmmmm, maybe we will have to knock & ask to try one now!
