Used in a sentence: "I'm starting to understand the appeal of Prison Toilet Wine, seeing as how we inadvertently starting making Mango Flavored Trash Can Wine this season."
In other news, the accompanying photo does indeed show the last mango for this year -- and, as previous pics have documented, we had a bumper crop for the first time since moving in in 2015. (Ironically, that increase in yield was likely due to the damage the back yard sustained with Hurricane Irma last September -- as there is now much less foliage competing for the same sun and water.)
Not every mango makes it into the house (to be turned into salsa, or eaten as fresh fruit, or cut up into chunks and stored in the freezer to become a smoothie when it starts to get really really hot and humid again ... at the height of hurricane season), because some fall to the ground and crack open (enticing the ants and bugs and 'possums) and others get eaten by critters whilst hanging on the tree. Those reject-mangos go into the special green yard waste trash can, which, quite simply, doesn't get emptied as often as the regular or recycle cans.
And that is why, with friendly assists from high temps and rain water -- and as evidenced by a certain sweet (albeit slightly rotten) odor -- any guests at ye olde new homestead before the end of the year might just get to imbibe in a little Mango Flavored Trash Can Wine (unless they are chicken and want to opt for the smoothie instead).
