When my parents were clearing out a portion of the garden to prepare it for planting more veggies, we noticed that there were a bunch of plants and other trees. Among the trees was a pomelo tree. I like this fruit. In one of the routes we take for walking or jogging, there's an area that has this pomelo tree, and it was bearing a lot of fruit. We were just passing by, but in my mind I wanted to have some. *hahaha* And when we saw the pomelo tree in our garden, I was amazed! It was planted by our house's previous caretaker, and now our neighbor, Manang Lourdes. It so happened that she was there when my parents were clearing the area. I also had a 30-minute break from work at that time. So when we saw the pomelo tree, she told us about its story. My mom then told her that I love eating pomelo. *hahaha* Then later that same day, she asked someone to pick the fruit and gave it to us. We finally opened it today! :D

It wasn't the easiest to peel. Well, pomelos do have thick peelings, but this one is more deformed than usual, so it was a struggle. Thanks Papa for peeling it.

It was quite sweet, a little acidic... but it wasn't bitter. I love it... I enjoy eating this one pulp after another. I don't know why, but it's more enjoyable that way. Also, I set the seeds aside because I want to plant them later on and grow more pomelo trees in the garden! I really appreciate our kind neighbor, Nang Lourdes, for giving us this fruit. Cravings satisfied!!! and I won't be longingly looking at the pomelo fruit on our walks anymore. *hahaha* I'll end this post here. Thanks for reading and see you around! Good night from this side of the world! ![BORDER canva-Photoroom.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tegoshei/23tbH2Xeo3xCavYj1UkKGMfRrav9LM1Vu9YMDmhPCA4AWNw2nGB3FSyjv9yWhRuYmqiyW.png)
