RE: Garden Journal 2018 (June) - Welcome To My Greenhouse! This Will Soon Be Tomato Heaven

in #schoolofminnows6 years ago

The plants look good. Those tomatoes and peppers are promising. Yum! I'm interested with the Cherimoya. Googling it looks like a cross between atis and guyabano.

It looks like you have everything in your garden. So great of your friend to give away that greenhouse. It is being put to good use.

Yes, I’m so grateful for the greenhouse. If you have to go out and buy one, it’ll cost you an arm and a leg.

I should look up atis and guyabano - I have never heard of those. But even then I’ll have to wait a few more years to confirm, because I’ve never saw a cherimoya frruit in real life - let alone tasted one :0)

A brief googling, some say cherimoya and guyabano (soursop) belongs in to the same genus Annona which it basically the same :D

I know the feeling of waiting. We don't grow apples here so we import them. We were able to grow one tree in our yard and it will be years more before we will see fruits and that is if it will survive. But I have eaten apples so I have the upper ground :D

lol. But I bet cherimoya tastes way better than apples :0)

You don't grow apples?? Where are you at, then? (Apple trees are like the most common fruit tree here. I can't even imagine a world without apple trees - lol.)

Last year, a friend gave me a tiny lemon tree grown from a seed from a lemon she bought at the supermarket. I looked it up and it might take 10 to 15 years before it will grow any fruit. And maybe there just won't be any... or it might not even be lemons, lol.
I'm not sure I'll be able to keep it alive for that long :0)

Each fruit has its own qualities to like :D

Yeah, I live in the Philippines. I was able to grow an apple in a pot in my former apartment. I did not take that though when I moved. I wonder what happened to that.

We do have lemons here but they are not juicy. We live in a rocky area so that is one factor affecting the growth of plants and trees in our yard.
