Adding to the salad mix. Passion fruits turn into juice. And that cucumber was as big as my forearm.
Passion fruit, cucumber and beets?
Correct. Added beets and cucumber to the salad. Still have spinach coming up too. I have dozens of passion fruits I strained into a juice.
good haul 💯 passion fruit look a little under ripe apart from the one on the left. skin should be crinkly and not greenish we have a vine that was proflic last year with over 100 fruits. picked all the windfalls and left a few days to crinkle and they were the sweetest I've ever tasted. had some shop bought ones the other day and they were sour and unappetising.. good effort on growing own food it's the best ❤️
Agreed. There's a tremendous sense of satisfaction I get from eating what I grow.
And just fyi, those fell off the vine because of all the iguanas in south Florida. Invasive species that exploded in population....and they eat everything down to the stem. They crawl around on the vines knocking these down.
I've taken to buying dollar store wire waste paper baskets to cover seedlings so iguanas can't get to them
Pro tip: you can speed up ripening by putting them in a paper bag with a banana or apple - the ethylene gas works magic on passionfruit and you'll have that perfect wrinkly skin in no time!
Great job!
For me (and not dinner tonight), two pumpkin squash, 1 regular sized cucumber and two gigantic ones, and some onion sitting on the table pulled this morning.
The garden is a jungle right now and I love it.
👍
At first I thought you had a flat top grill in your kitchen. Had to zoom in.
