The passion flower vine started flowering on 6th September. I have been pollinating them and the young fruits are growing very fast. Hopefully, they will be ready for harvesting before the end of this year, when I will be getting rid of the vine.
The last of the Elephant Heart plums for this year. The taste is excellent, and, the stone is easily removed, while the skin comes off by pealing with hands. This is the best variety I have ever known, all thing considered.
