What a bountiful harvest ....
They come from Second Aunt's garden. There's only one starfruit tree in the garden, and every day, Second Uncle tends to the fruits lovingly. The fruits are free from pesticides, and are sweet and juicy.
The folks are now overseas ... and the whole tree is still bearing so much of fruits. They ripen quite quickly and at such large quantity ... so Dad climbed up the tree and harvested the fruits. Then, Mom sorted them out and this morning, we brought them to the market to sell to the fruit vendor.
Two basketfuls yielded RM20.00. Not a very good price, if you ask me. But all this time that my relatives are away .... Mom and Dad have sold up to RM100.00 worth of stafruits to the vendor. Better than nothing, I suppose. Better than letting the fruits rot. And better than letting the fruits go to waste. :P
