Not just for the birds
I’ve been carefully watching the ‘nespereiras’ (nêspera trees) flower and then start to grow their green fruit for the last few months, with the idea of one day writing about them.
But now, all of a sudden and faster than I was expecting they’ve all started to quickly turn yellow (and even better a juicy dark orange) and since they are now turning ripe so rapidly, we better eat them quick before the birds (who are somewhat less picky than us) get there first.
I’ve met lots of people who when they first come to the Algarve don’t quite know what to make of the nêsperas and what seems to be the first fruit of the year. While looking at the ‘Gardening in Portugal’ Facebook page (my go-to place to find out about all things exactly that) I saw plenty of people had in the past already asked what they are? And if they were “safe to eat?”. So, I think of this article as a sort of public service announcement: YES, they are absolutely safe, and no
Grub’s up
These boys pictured here, doing ‘buggy shadows’, are back in town.
You may have noticed that every year around this time these little brown bugs suddenly appear on mass here in the Algarve - and you may have also noticed that they are the most hopelessly clumsy bugs you can imagine.
These gawky little dudes seem to only be able to manage to walk a few steps before they flip over and flail about helplessly. And, if you do come to their rescue and turn them over, they will only tip over onto their backs again 15 seconds later.
