Of course we will have a lot of mango varieties available. In addition to the varieties listed for Monday, we have now started to pick some Valencia Pride
Some notes...
Dot, Cushman and Bailey's Marvel look fantastic
Carrie continues to be wonderful... some of the Carries will be available for $2 per pound (most at $3 per pound)
Nice amount of Mallika
An amazing amount of Mulgoba (notoriously a light producer)
The dollar per pound table should be very interesting
As many of you already know, Julie Mango set very few fruit this year. This afternoon I happened to find one! Instead of selling it, I'm planning to cut it up Wednesday around 4:05. If it happens not to be ripe for Wednesday, we will sample a Maha Chinook instead. I hope that all the customers here at that time will be able to taste it.

Monday Mangos, June 30
We have LOTS of Great Mangos!
At least a large box of the following:
and at least a few of..
~Several varieties will be offered for sale at $2 per pound, including today's Carrie drops. Bruised and blemished fruit will be offered at $1 per pound, including Lemon Meringue.
~Last night's Haden drops are $5 per bag for as many as you can fit into one of our bags (about the same size as a Publix bag.)
Also.... Several people intend to ship mangos tomorrow. The most popular way to ship is using the flat rate boxes that the post office provides. Delivery is guaranteed in three days, so stuff that's mailed tomorrow will arrive before the holiday weekend. Monday morning I'll pick green mangos that will be suitable for shipping.

Today, June 30, we're planning to have our second fruit-picking tour of the season. The cost is $2 per person plus the cost of any fruit you pick. (You can also buy fruit that we've picked already.) Rain is forecasted. We plan to go ahead with the tour and hope there's some time between showers when we can walk around. Will check detailed forecasts and update later.

Some stuff about Saturday
Saturday, June 28... we will have the best selection of Carrie Mango of the season, and probably the best selection of mangos for 2014. Several varieties are either at the end of their seasons while others are at the peak of their seasons.
On Saturday there's a Tropical Fruit Festival at Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach.
We supply a lot of the mangos they use for tasting and selling. In past years many people come here afterwards to buy more mangos. To accommodate these potential customers, we will be open until 3pm this Saturday only.
We will have a fantastic selection of mangos! Cogshall, Glenn and Lemon Meringue are ripening rapidly, so this might be the last Saturday for these varieties.
Nam Doc Mai are finally starting to ripen. Next week we should have more than this week.
Bailey's Marvel, Bombay, Jacqueline, Dupuis Saigon, Cushman, Southern Blush and Carrie are close to peak season.
Many people intend to ship green Carrie mangos on Monday, so I'll try to pick lots of green mangos for that. It looks like Carrie season might not last much longer.
We have lots of wonderful mangos right now. I really don't know how we will find room for all the varieties.
This Saturday on our $1/pound table we will have some completely ripe and/or blemished Lemon Meringue.
This Saturday in our $2/pound area we will have Irwin, Haden (quantity discount still available), Graham, Rosa, Van Dyke, Joellen, Florigon and Carrie drops. (I've recently cut up LOTS of Carrie drops and seldom is there any noticeable damage... probably because we keep our trees short and mulch heavily.)
Haden Mangos are reaching the end of their season. If you happened to buy Hadens from our first picking of them and you were disappointed in them for any reason, please come in soon for replacement fruit.
The next fruit-picking tour is Monday at 5pm.
