    Feijoas

    It's that time of year again!

    Anyone with a tree have way more than they can possibly eat, and looking for some sad sap to give them all away too? I'm your man.

    Will ride across Auckland to get my fix.

    *Joins the queue behind Gubb*

    The last couple of places I lived in had feijoa trees but now I'm living in a feijoa-free-zone.

    So yeah, make my day by letting me come to your place and pick up your feijoas! Please! (Don't let that Gubb guy have them all... he only wants to eat them anyway! )
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    Hey compost, we have millions and millions of feijoas, want to come and enter the lions den to get them?

    Seriously though we have heaps.

    Shit that Number One is a bit of a character eh?

    Weird you mention squirts and feijoas, I learned something really interesting years ago when my son was a wee little whipper snapper. Feijoas have a naturally occurring arsenic type poison in them that some people are really sensitive to. I thought my son was in big trouble when he started falling over and banging into things and feeling strange all over (little kids cant describe things that well eh). Turns out he is intolerant of Feijoas

    All good, more for me

    Bloody possums have eaten all ours and our neighbours. Bastards have even eaten my grapefruit and they will eat lemons if that's all that's left! Amazingly they didn't touch the apples - but the pukekos have had a go at the ones up behind the pond.

    I love feijoas but don't know anyone nearby with a tree unfortunately.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Thumbs up Feijoa heaven

    We keep all the skins from the ones we eat - they go to a friend who makes real nice feijoa wine
    The real nice plump ones get peeled and preserved for off season eating, the juice is kept for drinks for the kids
    The riper feijoas get mixed with the slightly immature ones and cooked up for feijoa and apple crumble, feijoa and apple pie
    The peelings get cooked and made into feijoa jam

    What a great fruit
