Organic Star Fruit

Today I was harvesting my Starfruit tree and gave some out to my neighbors, I love too share my fruit and produce with friends and family. The beauty of nature and Organics is priceless and we all should enjoy Life to the fullest by taking time to focus on the things that better our health and also help Mother Earth! Can you give your self a little time to become with with nature? You can contribute as lil or as much as you can. 
Now back to my Starfruit harvesting today... as I was enjoying some fresh Coconut water from my coconut palm tree I took a walk in my back yard to check on my Avocado tree and noticed my Starfruit tree was full of starfruit, so I called my kids to help me pick some starfruit. We managed to pick 14 starfruits and left the rest for next week.
