about your Katuk... is a tropical plant that grows fast and loves heat. The delicious (and extremely nutritious) leaves and tips are nutty, almost reminiscent of garden peas with a pleasant nutty after taste. When used as stem tips, it is reminiscent of asparagus. This is an extremely popular vegetable in Southeast Asia. The flowers and fruits are also edible. It also has Papervine, which is a pain killer, but i think too much can give you lung problems Very interesting i have lots of Papaya seedlings ?

Scott, all I have to offer is conjecture and hearsay, but I've had similar questions about apples that purportedly taste best after a period of storage. The conclusion I'd drawn is that apples that get better in storage require some type of cool storage in order to reach their peak. I had assumed that one could not speed that process up via room temperature because the apple would degrade too rapidly. In other words, I assume that the some of the changes that occur slowly in cold storage are different than those that occur more rapidly at room temperature. It could be something like the softening and oxidation is slowed down enough in cold storage to allow the much slower (perhaps not temperature specific) conversion of starches to sugar, or perhaps changes in volatile flavor compounds to have a significant effect. It may be that storing at room temperature speeds up some of the aging processes but not others. If I'm not making any sense please accept my apology in advance.

You can check my website for the link to another forum. Look up FloridaGreenMan. His name is Noel. If anyone can get you seeds to his Big Red, he is. This is Noel's creation and he named it. I just spoke with him and he has seeds available. The Big Red is definitely a better producer than the KM.

Alright. Here are some additional pics of my garden and trees. I'm in Malaysia. I hope you enjoy it. Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

My soursop tree has been going dormant for quite some time already. Maybe it is its time. And the red sugar apple tree seldom have success in turning its flower into fruit. I don't think it is pollination problem, because the green SA is bearing fruits well.
