If it's not included in your avatar, where do you reside? (I'm wondering if people eat more where it's more available/fresher). If you insist on keeping it secret.............we have ways of making you talk
Fresh fruit.
Just that.

A lot. one serving or more per day. A handful of blueberries every day for the good things they do and a serving of whatever is looking good at the nice ass store at that time. Grapes, oranges, fracking fruit, cherries, apples, peaches (local in season GA or AL), watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, plums (occasionally), grapefruit, strawberries and kiwis.
North FL.
We have just started growing fruit - expecting watermelon and cantaloupe soon. We also have lemons and limes that will be ready soon. If we settle here we'll be doing oranges and satsumas in addition to what we currently have in pots and grow bags.

But, I just got about 10 lbs of apples, just picked from her friend's tree when she was down in the Suctomento area.
And, I like apples so much I just ordered a lug of Cosmic Crisp apples as the local grocery has them at a good price.
I grow some strawberries as the wife and I love them but I never get enough so we have to buy commercial.
Trying to get a small orchard established, but it's difficult in this climate.

Good deals other Geno.
Like you, fruit of some sort every day. Fresh when available, frozen, dried if not.
Watermelons and cantaloupe in October. Don't I wish. I just gave up on one squash plant, even getting covered every night it was turning black from the cold every morning. Watermelons and such are strictly a very short season variety and one is lucky to get any at all.
Good luck with all that.

Aren't you just inside the arctic circle? Tough to grow anything but seals and polar bears.
Sorta.
About the same latitude as Cleveland.

I forgot bananas. I eat them but Mrs. Geno not so much. A well-made banana daquiri is a thing of beauty.
Ya'll are already getting close to freezing then. BRR. It's still mid 80's in the day and 60ish at night. If we freeze 4 times in a winter it's unusual.

I had ice in one of the hoses on Aug 20th. The previous one was June 20th., so about two months without a frost.
Been freezing the water in the houses every night for about 2 weeks now. But just freezing, not a killing frost for most stuff.

Favorites - apricots, peaches, strawberries, blueberries and bananas. We grow apricots, figs, lemons, pomegranates and pistachios. We had a very productive apple tree but I took it down last year. It got too big for where it was planted and we got tired of dealing with all the fruit. Most of it was made into applesauce.
watermelon, peaches, pineapple, cantulopes, honey dew, grapes, blue berry, blackberry, strawberry, bing cherry, bananas, and apples.
just finished a cosmic crisp apple.
Missouri. Lots of local melons, apples, and peaches near by.
Gotta love local peaches. I'm hoping a peach tree I have going will someday produce something. Trees bloom here, then it freezes again. Or, they bloom because of the warmish days but the pollinators aren't awake from their winter sleeps yet.

That's part of what that box of apples will be for. Wife loves applesauce. I also make a couple of dehydrators full of apple slices. And, I bet I get a pie or cobbler or two out of it!

We've had 3 frosts[in the bottom below my house] already. Every last damn apple fell off this week. The dogs and I had been enjoying them.
What about the deers?
Where I lived in WA I had a tree next to the trailer I lived in.
Fuggers would have climbed that tree if they could have.

The deer go nuts over apples and pears here. They stand around in my mother's yard in central AL and wait for the pears to fall. Have to kick them out of the way to drive down the road.
