Farmland behind Pinal Villa

I dropped Lorena off at her moms after Kinder and the new field is next to their house. This is part of the area that has been too wet to plant for the last 6+ months. It's a double planting of Sandia (Watermelon) and Mangoes. They often double plant Mangoes because the trees won't get large for a few years.

When I got home I could hear a sprayer working fields on the other side.The Tomatillos are gone but another large field of Chili is behind them. I missed the spraying but took a few fotos of the Chilis. Across the road was another field of was was left of a Sandia crop. I'd heard that huge truck loads of Sandias had been leaving but never saw them. I was surprised kids had not been selling their illegal haul around the neighborhood.

One of the workers on my house lives in the neighborhood and across the street from the very large sandia (watermelon) field. About mid morning he walked in with this delicious seedless (only white seeds) melon.

Part of the benefits of living in farmland are the fruits and veggies either free of very cheap. At the end of the day today a couple of kids brought me a large bag of serrano peppers. I gave them 10 pesos but originally they wanted nothing. I can eat serrano peppers fresh off the bush but do leave most of the seeds behind.

Delicious
