Abiu (Seedling) 5/10 JohnMc1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1208 days 10hrs Comments: - Satisfaction level with this plant will rise when I see fruit starting to form on the branches.

Chilacayote - Perennial Squash 3/10 JohnMc1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1208 days 10hrs Comments: - Just one of those perannial plants that got out of hand. Apparently the vegetable must be picked very soon after the flower drops to be at their peak. I just let them ramble around, pulling up vines where they're not wanted. I don't think I give this vegetable the attention it deserves.
