That’s what’s left after some were squashed, some eaten, some dropped, some eaten…You get the picture.
We have almost as many on the bush but they’re still green (i.e a bit toxic). Now that we’ve decided to grow it as a fruit and I’ve watched it through its growth cycle, we will train it a little next year to make harvesting a little easier.
We’re trying to find more hardy, less water intensive, less bug resistant substitutes for more traditional European and American plants. I reckon this is one for sure!
I rescued this one as a seedling from our verge, transplanted it into the garden, right by the gate, where everyone could see that we were growing a ‘poisonous weed’. We’ve grown it to a productive bush almost a metre tall and even wider…A real success story.
