I’ve never gotten a fresh papaya at this time of year before.

Normally, I have to plant seeds in pots in the spring, let the trees get big, move them to the greenhouse, then late the next year I get ripe papaya. Or… I just have to wait until the trees along my south wall grow back from their roots and bloom again.

This year, some of the trees didn’t freeze like they’ve done every other year.

Oh elusive global warming… please be true!

Pretty please with CO2 on top?
