Home grown ingredients always seem to taste the best. Join me in my garden as I pick fresh ingredients and make homemade salsa. Get your Sleepy Lizard tropical fruit at: www.guacfarm.com
Tasted my first homegrown Pickering mango last night and I have to agree with Tom, it was incredible. Never judge a book by its cover: All kinds of black spots on the skin but the flesh on the inside was completely unmarred and almost neon orange. Maybe next year I'll have enough to make a mango salsa like this!
@@SleepyLizard I haven't tried all that many as I've only recently started exploring them, but I also really enjoy the Kent which sometimes pops up at my local Publix. My next door neighbor has a Julie and a Valencia Pride which I'm hoping to sample this year when they're ready. I'm digging that vegetable garden you got going on there! If you haven't considered or don't have them already in your garden, I highly recommend growing yard-long beans. They are tropical pole/vining beans so they need a trellis or some structure to climb, but they are extremely prolific and do fantastic in our FL summer conditions. And the beans themselves are so tender and sweet you can pick and eat them raw almost like snap peas.
Yea bra! For real, many people have no clue how many spectrums there are to mango. I like to call our volunteer cherry tomatoes "Poo Matoes". When I lived in the jungle for 10 years they would sprout from every turd hole dug. The large variety tomatoes don't do well here. They rot just before turning red. Our group has a no heat habanero, all the flavor though. Hey, much ALOHA my friend!
it was labeled as "Tommy" at the fruit stand but I knew it wasn't a Tommy so I thought maybe a surprise delicious mango might have got mixed in...no such luck
I'll have Valencia Pride in two weeks but no variety, just Valencia. This year was a terrible year for mango in south Florida. Many varieties did not produce fruit.
There are many fruits that I enjoy that I don't grow myself so I have to buy them. When I was there I saw these yellow mangos labeled as the Tommy variety but they were obviously not Tommys so I bought them thinking they might be something special...they had no flavor at all.

@@SleepyLizard oh I'm sorry that's sad.😢 Thanks for replying back so fast! I will watch for the Valencia and order them! Also I will be ordering some avocados! Thank you so much! Love them!
