Ripening Fruits

The monastics here at Kauai Aadheenam are now enjoying the hard work of the farsighted monks who planted our property with countless fruit trees many years ago.

After a hot and dry summer, the first signs of our wet season are beginning to show themselves. Consistent, light rains have begun to fall and the weather is beginning to cool, ever so slightly. Another sign that the seasons are changing is the ripening of our star fruit, as well as many of our citrus trees. Avocados are abundant and many varieties of guava are producing. And for those who know what they are, our Longan trees have just started to produce their sugary fruits.

delicious, nutritious starfruit

Even Gurudeva seems astounded at this harvest of organic lemons that weigh in at just under one pound apiece. It is hard to judge in the photo, but they look more like small grapefruit than lemons.
