We have pretty distinct wet and (current)) dry seasons up here in Pangasinan.

Oh, and here's a lovely new flower that appeared yesterday. The Mrs had been waiting for this one. It's about 4 inches across.  (Don't ask me what it is ! lol).

That might be daturas.  If it is you need to be careful as it is poisonous, especially seeds and flowers. :sad:

From wkipedia

Datura is a genus of nine species of poisonous vespertine flowering plants belonging to the family Solanaceae. They are commonly known as thornapples or jimsonweeds but are also known as devil's trumpets. Other English common names include moonflower, devil's weed and hell's bells.

Can't beat some home-grown bananas, gently ripening on the kitchen table: :smile:

Oh, and our nephew kindly dug up some of our Cassava:

Be very careful with casava as it is highly poisonous if not prepared correctly.

It seems that you have a large property, Graham - so many vegetables and your photos show lots of open space.:smile:
