Tropical Fruits and Veggies (4.00 / 3)
Happy birthday, maracatu!

I am sick with jealousy especially because you ate all that beautifully ripe papaya we can see in the photo. And soon you'll have fresh avocadoes and... aarrgghh!

One thing I can grow lots of in summer is basil, and I can confirm that you should nip off the flowers. Once the plant flowers, the leaves become coarser in texture and flavour.
