amanda says... They are tiny!? wow. You might like the Hungarian "Alma Paprika" to try (got my seeds from diggers) They are smallish and squat and have a lovely thick flesh with that intense flavour that a paprika capsicum gets.. :) Very nice - I am growing some now to dehydrate and make my own paprika with (as the homemade stuff is so good!) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth. 30th June 2012 11:15am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Hi Xiem; I like them roasted too but I also like to stuff them (halves) with raw fillings and panfry them, stuffed side down. The heat from the filling cooks the caps a bit but not too much so you still get the crunch. Do you have a dehydrator, Amanda? Are they a good investment? Mike I will try growing them as the weather warms. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 30th June 2012 11:45am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Yes, Mike. Lucy sent seeds but I have not planted them yet. It's freezing here and a lot of my seedlings didn't make it through the coldest night. Lucky I have more seeds (more seeds than I know what to do with) :) I'll look out for a second hand dehydrator. Found one online at Gumtree - a Ezi snack maker 500 for $100 "used once". Not sure if that's a good one. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 30th June 2012 2:03pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Thanks Lucy and David, I'm writing in my friend's 240 sq.ft. studio (a typical writer's garret - think La Boheme) and sustained by fresh fruit bought at the local market (Tues & Thurs). They also sell cheese made by the Amish people, pickles, breads and pastries. No cooking in this 94コF heat!

MaryT says... Hi Mike, the camera lies; they're actually average to small apples末well the ones at the market were, anyway. I like buying from the markets here末the peaches still have the fuzz on them; something I'd not seen in Sydney for the longest time. Sorry for the American one cent coin; it's about the size of our five cents piece. I'm trapped indoors by the thunder storm. Fortunately I'd stocked up at the markets so won't need to eat my friend's succulents :) I also have Key Lime Cheese Cake and Chocolate Brownies from Magnolia Bakery. :)

MaryT says... Here are some pics from my local markets in Brooklyn NY. There are some unusual stuff like garlic scrapes and purslane. The tropical stuff here are mostly imported, Mike, from south of the border like Mexico but the green markets only sell local produce so at the moment it's berries and stone fruits and apples.

MaryT says... Hi John Mc, the purslane is slimy and like okra it's not to my taste. I bought a bag of small potatoes today 'cause they looked cute; now I'm too scared to eat them because maybe they're seed potatoes for growing? They only cost a couple of dollars. :)

amanda says... Great pics MaryT - how interesting! Those little spuds are a "gourmet selection" (so they say these days..lol) Pop them on the window ledge and bake them in the heat maybe...? hehe.. I'd pig out on those berries - they look great!

MaryT says... Hi Amanda and David - here's a few photographs of f&v from Vancouver markets and supermarkets. I was there before and after my NYC stay. The first photo is the root vegetable of what we call Cinnamon Vine. A lot of their fruit and vegetables are imported, much more than we have. Those giant carrots are the size of our daikon, quite scary. The photo of books on how to grow marijuana was actually taken in Brooklyn New York but they are also legal to grow for own consumption in Vancouver :)

VF says... Brendan, don't know how your Bunnings is set up, but at a new one near-by they have regular fruit section where more advanced plants are, and a really big herb/veggie section where they are selling fruit trees in mega-tube size. Heaps of Avo's - incl. many Edranol - selling for about $25 off the top of my head.( About 50cm tall). | About the Author VF Wongawallan 20th September 2012 8:23am #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... I would never buy capsicum at $13 a kilo, even if the glass house was in Buckingham Palace. Lucy sent me some seeds which I am trying. BTW whenever I have to buy capsicum I weigh it with my hand and always go for the lighter ones; the heavy ones have massive cores and are full of seeds. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 27th September 2012 10:48am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... That's interesting Mary - I usually go for the heavier ones (on the rare occasion I buy at all!). I thought they had more flesh, but maybe didn't pay enough attention. Mostly I grow my own and freeze surplus for winter cooking. A couple of capsicum plants can provide a lot of fruit for one person. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 27th September 2012 7:07pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Julie末while there are people who would pay the money, they'll ask for it. I'm going to the market to check out the prices; will report back later. $15 (let's face it, you're not getting the 2 cents change) for a kilo of capsicum is for the super rich or super stupid. Why don't we eat what's in season, best quality and cheap? | About the Author MaryT Sydney 6th October 2012 8:07am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... I went to Paddy's market in Sydney yesterday and didn't bring my camera, doh末must report that the prices are half or less of that in my local supermarket. Three bunches of asian vegetables for $2 or three bunches of asparagus for $4. Pineapples $2 each. Pears $1.50/kilo. Blood oranges 99 cents a kilo! I bought three red capsicums, two zucchini and two egg plants - grand total $2.20. There are mangosteens for $10 a bag; I didn't buy any because I like to choose my own. I did buy monkey banana but they were disappointing. Julie I bought 3 and 4 bumps caps to try末YES, 3 bumps is sweeter and more fragrant and it has seeds, 4 bumps is also good eating but not as sweet and no seeds at all.
