I know most of you here are food enthusiasts, probably 99.9% of you. I can count the gardeners among us on the fingers of one hand, one of them being yours truly.
That’s why I rarely bring you gardening updates, but this time I just have to share this exciting news!
Do you see the two green eggs growing on the tropical-looking vines up there?
Those green eggs are passion fruits! My all-time favorite fruits for mixing into cocktails.
I still can’t believe I’ve managed to grow them in my definitely-not-tropical growing zone, in a pot, and kept indoors in the winter. I can’t wait for them to ripen.
There are even more flowers forming so there may be more fruits in the future, hurray!
Next week, I will update you on my potted jackfruit, annona, soursop, wax apple, guava… Nah, just kidding! They’re not doing anything so far. They just grow leaves, nothing else. That’s just a partial list, btw. I have many more plants! 😬
Now, let’s look at food!

Hi, Angie; wow, I love your passion fruit plant, the “eggs” look so healthy, I hope you have a nice crop. Thank you for hosting another great party, and for featuring my Hibiscus Tacos; this week I am sharing #17 Three Oat Beverages – Tres bebidas de avena. Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks and you’re welcome!
How cool! Actually most of my friends are gardeners, with elaborate raised flower beds, etc. I’ve always been able to grow flowers, but not vegetables. It’s a joke to see if I get enough tomatoes on a bush to pay for the cost of a plant! But, I always check out the “sad, neglected” plants on sale at the grocery flower section and love to bring them back to life. My hibiscus actually had 3 flowers and looks super healthy (was about $1.50 and almost dead when I bought it). My herbs & begonias fried in North Texas during our triple digit heat (even with just morning exposure), but then the basil reseeded itself in the pot and looks super healthy ~ and the 2 begonias in pots are really pretty again too. Silly plants ~ don’t they know that winter is coming? ** Love your linky party!!
That sounds like fun, rescuing neglected plants 😄 Oh yeah, plants are definitely silly. My one lone lovage plant dropped hundreds of seeds and now I have baby lovage all over to weed! You only need one lovage for goodness’ sake!
Thanks so much for featuring my peanut butter spider cookies! Hope you have a great weekend.
Dropping by from #ChasingMYLife to bring you my CREAM of CHICKEN CAULIFLOWER SOUP. SALISBURY STEAK with TOMATO ONION GRAVY and CREAMY CHICKEN SNAP PEA PASTA. Thank you for always hosting such a great party. I hope you have a WONDERFUL rest of the weekend.
