I'm sorry, crnagora95, I just have so many vegetable seeds of my own right now that I'm not looking for any of those things you have.

If you have cherimoya seeds to trade, I will find something your need to trade in return. I have some paw paw seeds (unknown variety but the fruit is about 4 - 5 inches long and 1.5 - 2 inches in diameter with a lot of seeds), that I am going to start to germinate this month. I should be able to trade small paw paw plants for the seeds if desired.

just a thought, but depending on your locality, especially in the eastern states, overpopulation of deer has led to states and municipalities adopting year long bow seasons. If this is private property you are having problems with there are probably hunters in your area who would be more than helpful. Also, some states allow the taking of deer from private land without a tag, something to keep in mind. I am not necessarily saying it is the best option but for most deer overpopulation it can be beneficial to both your tract of land, the plants and animals on it, and whatever crops you may be thinking of putting in. If it is public land, please disregard most of what I just said. You may want to encourage hunting in the area come deer season.

Randia Formosa 'Blackberry Jam Fruit' opinion

I had the same impression: it has blackberry jam flavor, but it is just a hint, with mostly hard seeds in a tiny fruit. Hardly worth eating except as a novelty. But the flowers are beautiful and fragrant. Remember, wild bananas started out mostly seeds and not a sweet flavor.

How do you remove seeds from homemade Blackberry Jam?

mabel, that looks like my old Squeezo, except mine is all metal and has several different sized sieve/cones. Not even the smallest one gets out all the seeds, a few small ones always slip through, but not very many. It's not as "reliable" at removing all the seeds as a fine sieve is, but not as much work either. Well, except cleaning the darned machine afterward. gourmet, if you push the berries through a sieve or a chinois, or a china cap or a food mill or any of the above, you'll get the berry pulp as well as the juice. As the berries get mashed up, the seeds will remain but the pulp will go through the openings of the sieve/utensil. Annie

witchsbrew,

I'd like to accept your offer, but just want to make sure we are talking about the right plant. Randia Formosa is a plant that creates round fruits with a hard shell that contain several large seeds and a flesh that tastes somewhat like blackberry jam, hence the name. It isn't, however, the thorny plant with small black berries that grows wild in many places.

Here is a profile of it: http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/blackberry_jam_fruit.htm

So if you do have seeds of randia formosa to trade, email me and I'll send you the purple calabash.

Thanks, I just want to make sure there's no confusion.
-Caiden.
