The fruit is *finally* starting to slowly... Very slowly... ripen. Which now that I think about it - is probably a good thing. If they all ripened at the same time we wouldn't ba able to eat them all!
Since papaya #2 weighed in at 5lbs for a single fruit.
One of 8 plants. This one has the biggest fruit. Diane took a smaller green fruit off another plant and gave it to her boss for a green papaya dish (soup? I think)
Papaya #2 with beer for scale. Papaya #1 went to Diane's nephew a few months ago.
Split open - seeded
Split open with seeds. No, didn't save the seeds. Really have no more room for papaya plants in the yard!
Madison's breakfast - 1/2 papaya with strawberry yogurt and granola.
The papaya, wasn't as sweet as say a smaller yellow papaya, but it had a very good and soft flavor. The skin cut like butter.
After the family finished the papaya, we sliced the skins up and placed them in the composting bin.
