Favorite Fruit

With spring (hopefully) around the corner, it has gotten us thinking about our favorite fruits. We are anxiously awaiting the day when we can once again go to the market and buy fresh, locally grown produce!

Mark—I like bananas, apples, oranges, and kiwi.

Betsy—Call me monkey…my favorite fruit has always been bananas. They are soft, easily digestible, not too sweet, and come dressed in easily-peel-able skin. But I’m also very fond of mangoes, pineapple, strawberries, oranges, bing cherries, and many different varieties of apples.

Bianca—I am definitely a citrus and melon girl. I love pineapple, oranges, cantaloupe and watermelon. I also love mangoes and kiwi!

Ben—My all-time favorite fruit is bananas! I eat at least one every day. I also enjoy oranges, grapes, pineapple, and watermelon.

Rubia—My favorite fruit is pineapple! I also like cantaloupe and strawberries and blueberries. I’m NOT a fan of grapefruit—it has a sour aftertaste.

Roma—My favorite fruit is watermelon! I also like pineapple and cantaloupe and oranges.

Josiah—I love watermelon and any kind of grapes!

I agree with Roma and Josiah. Watermelon is my favorite (followed by blueberries).

Two of your favorite fruits, Bianca, are mine as well . . . pineapple and watermelon. But I really like so many others, too. :) And now with spring here and summer on its way, we're looking forward to harvesting our own fresh fruit from some of our trees, bushes and plants!

strawberries (fresh from the field), magoes, peaches, cherries (tart red, or firm black sweet, or queen anne)... these are a few of my favorite things... (sounds like a good song... :)

I would have thought blueberries were your favorite fruit, Amy! I agree, watermelons are delicious and remind me of summer!

That's neat that we have some of the same favorite fruits, Sarah! I think I would like most any fruit if it was homegrown. Perhaps someday we can grow some more fruit on our property. I'm planning on growing cantaloupe this year! I can almost taste it now!

Does fruitcake count?

Morgan and I picked blueberries last Saturday. They will be in season until mid May. The owners of the farm gave us permission to eat as we picked. The berries here are sooooo sweet!

Our family favorite is any variety of apple.

Haha, Aunt Debbie! :-) I'm not sure that I'd classify "fruitcake" as a fruit! I'm slightly jealous that you are already picking blueberries. They won't be around here until June, I think.

I like certain varieties of apples. I like Honeycrisp and Braeburn apples the best!

Miss you!
