With the sun higher and the ever increasing humidity, June is the start of our mango season. Not trying to exclude our other sensual fruits (like those fine ruby red grapefruits and - those sought after delicious lychee nuts), but, the mango has to be at the top of all of our annual Florida pleasures.
When I lived downtown, many years ago - our neighborhood kids "those mango monkeys" used to climb our 40 foot trees and collect buckets full. The rustling and excitement with those kids up-top, filing those baskets, marked a seasonal change that will always be a part of our local community.
