Mushrooms and zucchini flowers. The beds by the front door are already yielding food. I love my zucchini flowers battered and fried but must control myself until we get some zucchinis.

Naranjilla for our garden.
A slightly overpriced, but ever so tasty, naranjilla. They go by the much more marketable name of ‘the golden fruit of the Andes’ now. This fruit is easy to grow, yeilds plenty, shades a good area and has little thorns on the leaves. A multipurpose plant indeed!
