I was hesitant as either some animal knocked it off or the wind. But it was still scratch testing green so I let it counter ripe (was unsure it would work) for about a week. Absolutely delicious fruit, I had a sapodilla I ordered online prior and it was terrible so had very low expectations. It’s perfect size of a fruit for me (as opposed to a mamey or canistel which I cannot eat a whole one). The whole family approves also. Really brown sugar flavor with texture of a soft pear.
Edit 5 seeds inside, I stuck them in dirt immediately, @resonanteye if you need seeds in the future let me know, several more fruit to ripen in the coming weeks/months.
I planted watermelon instead! Forgot my plan was to put sweet potato in the greenhouse…
On that note, can anyone chime in on my idea to plant a sweet potato slip between my okra to act as groundcover inside the greenhouse? Or would they be too much of a hog for the okra?
I have been growing some (bright pink flowering strawberry) for several years, lovely but don’t make very large berries nor many at a time. Mine do produce a few berries all growing season though so nice snacks while gardening.
Huge button bush found growing on the banks of the licking river
Some variegated bamboo
Maybe wild elderberry?
Wild blackberries
Are those “Jewel”?
They look huge.
Last harvest of tifblue rabiteyes for the year.
There are a few left… not many… going to let the birds have them.
TNHunter
I definitely will!!! I had 3 going and two are toast
Any ideas what this stuff is? It’s shown up all over my yard this year.
GoldRush on a crab apple in the woods.
field sorrel. i have it everywhere,
I tasted some and spat it out, it’s definitely sour and distinctly lemony. I kind of want to sauté it with onion and put it on pizza. I wasn’t sure what it was and pulled out like a dozen tufts of the stuff.
It was supposed to be Niwot but it’s not. It put out 20ft canes last year with 0 berries and just wanted to keep growing.
This year, it’s putting out stout, strong canes that are upright vs the last few years. It may be niwot but i have suspicions that its not. When i got it, the plant was smaller than my hand and had some type of disease that made it grow extremely bushy but not tall or anything. Then i forgot it outside in Colorado and that year hit under -10 degrees. It survived in a really small pot amazingly and grew back actual canes. Never made berries, died back to the ground that year cause Colorado and i left it outside after seeing it could survive in a pot in those temperatures without protection. This is the first year it’s made berries. We moved to Washington state and i brought it with me, again, in a small pot. Repotted and it hurt with all the thorns lol. No more severe hail and it grew so long last year. All that growth put out berries this year
The camera function on my phone has been weird lately shaking so sorry for the subpar photo, but my dragonfruit finally budding, pretty stoked.
Not sure which of the 3 varieties this is but it’s either American beauty, Hailey’s comet or physical graffiti
Triomphe de vienne pearlets
Assorted berries
American Pillar. I know, I already posted a picture of it, but I mean…this rose is just insane! I love the pompoms it makes.
Tottering-by-gently
I’m not sure. The city planted the tree earlier this year.
