For me, eating thawed pawpaw pulp in the winter gives me a warm feeling, not 
just because it's so delicious and nutritious, but also because the messy 
business of extracting the pulp from seeds in the fall is a special project 
my long-time girlfriend Claire and I happily share together.  

And there's the feeling that I assume many NAFEXers have, that since I 
planted the trees fifteen years ago, it is a great satisfaction having them 
pay off in spades so many years later.  It assuages the many failures of 
other orchard experiments.  With pawpaws in particular, since the trees keep 
spreading, it is especially satisfying knowing that there will be more and 
more pawpaws every year.
