In my house we all love fruit and we have some fruit trees in our garden and backyard. This morning I collected some strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. This is the first year that we have blueberries. I took my kids with me so they can collect these fruits too, they ate some while they were picking it, in the picture there are what left It is delicious Do you have your own fruit? Which summer fruit is your favorite?

Hi Manuela. How are you? I like those berries. Yummy. For me, it is apple, pear or banana. Watermelon and mango are the loves during summer.

I have a trivia, Blackberries are carnivorous plants.

I love mangos, I am sure that in your country mangos are very sweet. We don't have it here.

Cemeteries have them for free and no one harvests them because of the "fertilizers"

We don't have those fruits here in our province. Although strawberries grow much in Mountain province, so we can have them also though a bit expensive already. I envy you for having those fruits especially blueberries. I only get to eat the bottled blueberry jam. I wish to be able to eat the real fruit also. I love fruits too. My favorites are ripe mangoes, pineapple and avocado.

@nela13 Yes. Every country has their own fruits that are only indigenous there.

@nela13 No I buy them at the supermarket but in a house we used to live in when I was a child we had raspberry plants and would eat them straight off the bush.

There are raspberries and black berries on the cemetery near my street. No one harvest them because of the obvious fertilizers....

@nela13 They just grew wildly, Most likely they grew there because of the birds. Birds eats fruits, poops the seeds and seeds turns to trees.

@CaptAlbertWhisker So it has nothing to do with the fertilizers

@nela13 There are many things that won't grow well where I live. The things that I can grow are gobbled up by the deer. For some reason, I love tropical fruits the most.

That looks delicious to me. I think that fruit grows well in Portugal. I live in England and the weather here makes it hard to grow fruit. When I was a child I lived in Kent which was known as the Garden of England. My mum grew fruit and vegetables there. She grew strawberries and raspberries plus carrots and beans. My favourite berries are strawberries and raspberries.
