Star fruit in bloom

Hello and welcome to Garden Bloggers Bloom day where gardeners around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens. It is hot and dry, very dry with no rain in sight.  The trade winds are very strong so any cloud mass will disappear quickly. I don't know how much longer my plants can take this drought. Please do a rain dance for me!
To see more gardens in bloom please visit Carol at May dreams gardens  Have a great weekend gardening!

tropical fruity friday

delicious Erwin mango


Welcome to a tropical fruity Friday in Barbados. My mangoes are almost finished and my star fruit is coming in to season.

Tomorrow, I will be having some friends over to tea, to celebrate my birthday which happens to be today. If you recall, I had sent out invitations to many of you to attend this important event. Many of you have accepted, and I, will be placing your name cards with your blog addresses on my table. Many of my friends will get to meet you and I will have a surprise guest attending.

Tomorrow will also be the official opening of my new kitchen, so stay tuned.
