Thanks.
Her dad had always been growing ‘prize tomatoes’ in that greenhouse, so the pressure is on, lol.
I have never seen a cherimoya myself, but since it’s originally from South-America I assume you have a bigger chance on finding one than I do here in Belgium. If you do, let me know if Mark Twain was right.
I think it will take a couple more years before my little plant will start growing fruit. And only if I manage to get my hands on a hubbie for it. :0)
To be honest, I’m really curious about the different flavours of the different tomatoes. Never eaten any other than the regular red ones or cherry tomatoes.
I Really wonder why they don’t sell any other varieties here... maybe I’ll know once I’ve tasted the others, lol.
From september all the way through winter I was obsessed by saving seeds, especially when I managed to get my hands on uncommon fruits and veggies.
The downside is that most of those plants (trees) take years before they grow fruit of their own.
2 years ago, a friend gave me a tiny lemon tree she grew out of the seed of a lemon she purchased in the store. I was so happy with it. But after doing some research I found out that seeds from commercial lemons always grow into big trees, not bushes, and that it can take up to 15 years before they start to grow lemons. And there is no guarantee that they will. And if they do, it’s possible they won’t even be lemons, but some other variety - a twist of nature.
So that’s kind of a long term engagement. Almost like having kids, hahaha (Fortunately, the little lemon tree is quite, doesn’t smell and is happy with a little water every once in a while) ;0)
Thanks for the drop in the C-squared Discord. They did pay me a visit and upvoted and resteemed. All thanks to you.
Did I ever tell you you were awesome? 10 stars, remember 😉😉
Hooray! I'm so glad they stopped by! My pleasure :)
Just like kids, you tend and care for them and have such hopes, and then they end up doing exactly what they want...or maybe exactly what they were intended to do from the beginning :)
I was at the market today and looked for cherimoya, but no go. There's a public market by locals on Sundays; I'm going to check that one out to see if I can find it. I'm very curious now.
And just for the record, you're a 10-star too :)
Thanks!
Blush, blush :0)
