Paw Paws harvested from Myrtle Street this week

Paw Paw tree with fruit ready for harvesting

Using a long, extendable pruner this week we harvested about a dozen green paw paws from the tree on the corner of Myrtle and Pine.

Five households have them and three of us have made green paw paw salad (I used the recipe in Stephanie Alexander’s ‘bible’).  With nuts, lime juice, chilli, fish sauce, and more it’s a beaut recipe.  Light, easy and quick to make and fine to the taste.

We’ve got another couple of dozen left; let me know if you need help to get them or, of course, harvest them yourself and enjoy,

May the paw paws be with you,

Michael
