quote:
Originating from Siberia. Hardy down to -35°C and growing up to 2m in one season, this delightful, grapevine-like plant produces up to 400 miniature fuzz-free kiwis every year! (This is a self-fertile variety.)

Eat them fresh from the vine or cut them in half and dry in a low oven to make sticky wine gum-like sweets but without any E numbers!

James says - 'Super sweet mini kiwis that come with a fuzz-free edible skin.'
Culture: Plant: Can grow up to 2m. Can yield up to 20kg fruit when mature. Harvest: September-November

tree spinach:
grows to 8 feet in a year and tastes like spinach ... large leaves are cooked like spinach, and new leaves are used in salads

Orach red .... these leaves are eaten raw in salads ... grows 1,2 meters tall

Sorrel bloody dock ... grows 2 foot tall and is eaten raw in salads or can be cooked:

I grew the cucamelons about 6 years ago and it took over my front and backyard, and it took over my neighbors yard too. ( I don't think he noticed.). It's interesting because it tastes like it's been pickled fresh off the vine (sour). I am growing Sorrel bloody dock, it looks weak I wish it looked like the photo I guess I ought to be patient. I need those Kiwi in my life and I am also trying to grow the tree spinach. Funny, we have similar taste
