by |Published

Several months ago at Jet Rye, our loaned property were we grow corn, peanuts, and soybeans, we picked mangoes.

Here I am trying to knock down some mangos with a bamboo stick.

Oh there's a mango

How to Catch and Eat a Jack fruit…

Jack fruits are native to South Asia. Its fruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, reaching as much as 80 pounds in weight, up to 36 inches long, and 20 inches in diameter. Here you can see a small jack fruit is much larger than my head. Here one of the students climbs the tree at the farm to retrieve the fruit.

Dengue is dangerous because it can turn into Hemorrhagic Fever which is very dangerous. It seems we got him to the hospital in time…
