The Father's harvest of the week. One cucumber and papaya. The Mother was put off by the freckles on the papaya and didn't want to eat an ugly fruit. There are another 30-odd baby fruits getting ripe on the papaya tree, hopefully they include some aesthetically pleasing ones. Maybe switch fertilizers?
UPDATE: 11 July
We did have the ugly papaya in the end and it tasted good!

My co-worker went to the supermarket and got into a long conversation with the produce guy. He learned that when picking a watermelon, you should not be put off by the ugly brown scars because that's evidence that bugs were trying to get into the fruit's sweet flesh. If this freckled papaya follows the same principles, then it may in fact be very sweet and tasty!
hey i'll gladly eat the papayas! and any other fruits or veggies...why not plant a durian tree!
Ok Dilly, remind me to pass you a papaya.
Cannot plant durian tree, not enough space, not to mention all the creepy fruit bats will camp at my balcony. Yucks.
