Good afternoon from this side of the planet. It's sunny and bright outside but not too hot. Happy May to you all. It's the first day of the month and hope the month goes well for you. It's Labour Day here and so we have a long weekend here.. Happy Labours Day!! Had plans to go for another hiking today. Husband came to know of one more good hiking spot in the hikers and trekkers group. But then my husband and daughter complained of sore throat and tiredness last night. Nothing serious, they are under weather and should be okay in a day or two. I spent a good time today morning in the terrace garden. Had few big things to be done and called my gardener for help. . Today we had some good harvest of ladies finger, radish, lettuce, beans and tomatoes. A lot of cleaning and weeding were waiting for some time. It was a big work done today . The garden looks neatand we have sowed some more seeds And that's in the picture the first harvest of guava. . I planted one during the lockdown time and today we got seven fruits from it. So, Cheers for the first harvest . I see some more flowers on the guava tree. My husband, daughter and niece were too excited and tempted to see the guava and they relished it before I could click the picture . Anyway, I asked my gardener to pose with the last one that they left for me.You can see that in the picture. It was crunchy and delicious . So, the guavas were our breakfast. Hope all going well in your myLot corner

You are lucky, already harvesting so many vegetables. Our tomatoes and peppers will not be ready until mid-July. This is a pretty big guava, I am sure it is delicious.

They were juicy and crunchy. And consumed within minutes of harvesting.. This is my first harvest of any fruits from my garden. So, we were super excited. Well, tomatoes are also fruits . Vegetables are doing good in the garden. I should be harvesting some more this week. Red amarnathus and lettuce would be ready in few days

@just4him My husband and daughter have gone to Mumbai today morning. They will be back on Wednesday. And then her school starts from next week. Moreover, it's raining here and the trekking trails won't be safe. I guess, we will go for cycling on long routes a few times this month. Hopefully, it doesn't rain.

Yes, the garden needed some major work and I needed help to get it done. I was too excited to get this first harvest. This is the first fruit tree in my garden. I also have one lemon tree

Happy month of May to you too. How long does it take for a guava tree to grow and bear fruits?

Thank you . I wish that it is a good one for everyone here on myLot. Well, it might take long if we start from seeds. I got a small from the nursery two years back during the pandemic time. That time it was upto my waist. In twi years it has become thrice the size and is bearing flowers and fruits.
