Great photos! Mango daiquiri looks quite yummy. Looks like a little spot of lavender at the end of the beard.

What tropical fruits are you growing?

I've started my first proper garden after years of living in smaller places. I'm currently growing: Cape Gooseberry (basically a weed in my garden) Pomegranate Blackberries (don't know the type) White, weeping mulberry (found on the property) Litchi / Lychee (nursery didn't label the type) Avocado (Fuerte & have been advised to get a Haas too) Apricot (Cape Early, a South African cultivar) Apple (Early Red one & looking for a tart, green pollinator/pie apple) Eureka lemon Unidentified dwarf lemon (found on property) Shaddock pomelo, red flesh Peach (Oom Sarel, a large South African cultivar) Two fruits that I'm growing, but I've never tasted before: - Miracle Fruit (3 seedlings about 20cm, under glass & one recently planted outside). I've served the pills for a party. - Pepino Got a whole of herbs, peppers and veggies too. I'm looking to replace granadilla / passion fruit and mangoes that I've grown before. I don't care for the taste of granadilla but I love the Passion flowers. I live north of Johannesburg in South Africa & it's spring time here. I want to grow some of the traditional fruit trees I grew up with, like delicious sweet Marula (sclerocarya birrea). Marula makes a small, sweet fruit that you can eat fresh when it turns yellow, can ferment into a traditional beer and leaves a hard seed with a sweet nut. Other traditional trees are Milk plum (Englerophytum magalismontanum) & Moepel (Mimusops zeyheri)...I don't know it's English name but I see it's part of the Sapoteceae genus.

Edith's Darling questions?

Q

Comments (52)

Lisa, What hoops we jump through in our dedication to our rose avocation. Thanks for the shot you took of Edith's Darling and its tag information. Your growing year is under way now. Your enthusiasm and excitement are obviously at a peak, and are contageous. The growing season for rosarians here begins with spring pruning which doesn't start until mid-April, 90 more days! Usually, nurseries here are just ramping up with potted stock a week or so before Mother's Day, in early May. Can you imagine the amount of frustration we here experience when we hear of your rose season starting now. We will survive, somehow! I suppose Edith's Darling will be promoted and marketed heavily until and if it becomes a favorite among rose gardeners, or fizzles out if its assets are far outweighed by its liabilities. My inclination, at least this time anyway, is to wait a while and see how she spans out. I, 'take the bait,' too quickly on a new rose. You would thing my old age would have tempered my impulsiveness. I have been using the lame excuse that my years ahead are few, and I don't have the time to wait. I have to force myself to practice restraint. This is a good opportunity for me to mend my, 'must have that rose now,' ways. I'm usually frugal with all other things, both by habit and necessity. With roses it's, 'get out of my way....I'm headed to the checkout with this cartful of roses....stop me at your peril!'. Time for my behaviors to match my white hair. Moses

Great names. I'm impressed with the imagination. I bet a clump of Italian Velvet is stunning.

Yes, with all the individual iris, it must take some thought to come up with names these days. I like the sound and look of Italian Velvet.
