Waimanalo Papaya and cocona competing to be my first perennial seedling to produce fruit for me! Very exciting.
Peanut butter fruit almost ready.

Harvested my first Black Futsu. Might be a bit early. First time growing any sort of winter squash.
Also got a surprise bunch of Errante Noir grapes. This is a second year vine that has grown vigorously from a few feet of vine this year. I didn’t let it fruit as I’m establishing the training. I think this bunch flowered and fruited on a mid-summer spur well after spring.
Tasted a few from curiously. Nice grape taste. Its a wine grape, so I may have enough next year for a small batch wine. 6 other vines planted this spring have pretty good growth, so they may be large enough to let hold some bunches.

Holstein. I understand they are prone to cracking on the blossom end, but the grower I bought them from said this was an especially bad year.
Centennial crab, very cute and tasty, fresh apple juice flavor.

Give it a nice trellis and they will have lots of blooms for you! I can harvest about 10-15 flowers a day if I stay on top of it.

@sharq this is the first time I have grown the vine and I am hoping to harvest some seeds! I am pushing it here in WA, and I was actually just looking up if I can overwinter the plants I have.
The plants I have, have only just really started growing well and blooming. They did have a rough start though.

Do you have Arum maculatum in North America?

They germinate pretty slow and sporadic for a bean plant from fresh seeds. Most of my plants that I have this year I sowed last year, didn’t sprout, mixed in the soil into new pots, and now I have 5 or 6 of them growing with other plants. I believe the one in that picture is actually in a 1 gallon pot with a Jamun as well (although I’m sure its escaped into the ground with how big it is). They do produce lots of pods if you don’t harvest the flowers though.
Unfortunately I am a poor source about overwintering. They are however perennials, my boss has had one growing in her garden for probably 5 years now (although in milder South Florida). So if you can get it to survive the cold, it will keep going.

Looks like a Jack-in-the-pulpit seed pod. Semi-common in my area…

Is that one of those plants found usually next to a creek?
Yes, its a taro relative of some sort. Thats what the fruit looks like. I always call them the “fake plant but real” because alot of fake indoor plants are made like that species.
