The Pomegranates have ripen and are ready to be picked.
Happy gardening and have a lovely weekend.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I enjoy them immensely and have been lucky enough to have eaten most of the following fruits. I have done some research and here is a list of the ones I remember.
There are a lot more Exotic Fruits out there such as the Aguaje (fruit from the Moriche Palm Tree), Blood Oranges (California, Sanguinello, Tarocco, Italian, Australian, Moro), Blackfigs, Pineapple, Watermelon, Urucu (fruits from the Achiote Tree), Ugli, Citrus (Meyer Lemons, Yuzu, Finger Limes), Champagne Grapes, Coconut, Tamarillos, Cantaloupe, Longans, Mamey Sapote, Tamarind, Toddy Palm Seeds (from the Toddy Palm), Jambul fruit, Sapodilla fruits, and so much more.

I started actively reading about Cancer Fighting Food in 1997 when my Father was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and my research intensified in 2011 when I found out that my former neighbor was in her final stage of Cancer. They are so many disease fighting and preventing foods out there. For this post, I am only naming a few. Click on each one of them to learn about their health benefits (and possible side-effects, if any).
How to Make/Use Soursop Tea (Source: Nature Chemo Care)
Boil 1 liter of water, then take 15 Soursop matured leaves (fresh or dried ones both have same effect) and 1 small stem cut into small pieces and put into the boiling water then continue to boil the water on medium flame for 30 minutes, until the water evaporates to 600 ml. Now the Soursop tea is ready to drink. Drink 1 cup (200 ml) filtered Soursop tea after cooling or warm, 3 times every day, in the morning, afternoon and in the night. For better taste you can add some honey (not sugar).
After drinking, the body feels the effects of heat, similar to the effects of chemotherapy but no side effects. In 1 or 2 weeks time you can feel the benefits of Soursop yourself, and in 4 weeks time the improvements can be checked with the doctor.
Note: every time you drink Soursop tea see that 30 minutes before and after, you don’t take any other food. Do not use it during pregnancy. Do not use in large single dosages and avoid long-term use.

For all the things that suck about life; I for one, am grateful to have good neighbors.
You can choose your friends. You can choose your house and neighborhood; however, you cannot choose your neighbors. Good neighbors make good neighborhoods and can help improve your quality of life. Good neighbors are thoughtful and look out for each other. Bad neighbors are unpleasant to be around and can make life very difficult for others.
Good neighbors add to your set of skills allowing a neighborhood to maintain itself more efficiently since they are all working together. Look around your neighborhood and you will notice the ones that seem to work together and the ones that stand alone, doing their own thing.
HOW CAN WE BE GOOD NEIGHBORS?
Be considerate to everyone and practice the Golden Rule which states that “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you …” – Matthew 7:12 (NASB)
