Absolutely delighted over here. TEN years ago we planted this tree, and we finally have our first jabotica! Two, even. With more coming. (See the blossom up above the fruit?) 🌱🌳

Grabbed some sweet potato slips from an older growing area to start a new bed. I’ll plant them along with kalo in an area where we’ve been letting a pile of wood chips decompose. Should be good growing! 🌱💙
