We just ate our first feijoas!

This means that we really are starting to become locals. The feijoa would probably be NZ's second national fruit (in relation to prevalence/popularity) - just behind the world famous Kiwifruit. We are planning on growing a number of these trees into a hedge on the fence line of our property to reduce the noise from the cars. So we need to get used to eating them and finding many different ways of cooking/using/preserving them, as we will have a large harvest of them when the hedge is fully grown (we currently only have 1 tree planted, so it will be a little while yet).
