| Is it still hot there in Australia? I was just wondering out of curiosity what are some favorite home grown or local grown summer treats? Fruits etc. You know in New Jersey (USA) we love our (local grown! :) ) tomatos and sweet corn.... and of course we love the "out of state" watermelons and peaches.... |

| For me, it's nectarines. And mangoes. Both of which come from my state, too (although the Qld mangoes are very nice too). freckle *hoping she hasn't opened a can of worms about who grows the best mangoes!* |

Peaches & Mangoes for me, and strawberries as well.

I'm in Victoria and my favourites are nectarines and grapes.
I love cherries too. |

I am in Queensland and its Mango, pineapples, watermelon and lady finger banana are my favourite.
I simply adore Red Capsciums, and lebanese cucumbers as even store bought ones are really tasty.
It is still warm here in Brisbane the capital of Queensland which is in the SE of the State.
And the lowest temp in the night is between 18-22 degrees C and the days are 28-32 |

| I live in the Chittering Valley in Western Australia which is a wonderful citrus growing area, so I would have to say mandarins and oranges. In my own garden right now, I have ripe watermelons, peaches and passionfruit. Amanda |

I reckon the best strawberries in the world are grown just outside Melbourne in Seville and Wandin....well at least one of the best!
I adore the nectarines grown in Victoria and seedless white grapes are a favourite as well.
I also love cherries, but unfortunately the season in so short and the prices are so high! |

It's all the stone fruits and berries. many's the day I've been dragged kicking and screaming from a devastated pile of stone fruit. I can eat 'em 'til I'm sick.
A mango/blueberry/raspberry/passionfruit combo.
It will perfume your soul. |
