Update del jardín: las berenjenas no quisieron salir, los pepinos no tienen muy buena pinta pero los tomates cherry del año pasado siguen dando flores y frutos y de esta temporada tengo algunas calabazas, un chile (el otro se lo regalé a la vecina) y varios tomates (sembré muchos cherry y no cherry, a ver qué salen 😂). Aquí les va una muestra ☺️ #Jardineria#JardinUrbano#UrbanGarden#GrowOwnFood
No ripe berries for Halloween. Alas. I saw spotted cucumber beetle on it yesterday and squished it. Also squished a tree cricket. A couple of unripe berries were slightly nibbled and discarded (probably cricket). I tried a green one and it tastes like baby peas. Not bad. Hopefully ripe berries are better.
My favorite international grocery store has a bed full of these. I collected a couple seed pods no one was going to miss, planted them in the fall by the street where it gets no water or fert. Then two different utilities companies tore up the ground twice in winter. Just one plant came up.
Seed packet had only around 10 seeds but the butterflies seemed to like the few plants that came up so will save seeds. The idea was to plant something smallish but tallish near tricky to pollinate plants so bugs can find tiny flowers. (Achocha, miracle berry, etc.)
