Will see this eve and take more picsGoose Berries are flipping awesome .... we have some growing, but unfortunately our Lab also loves them, so I have seen nothing of it. We have a granadilla growing in the back passage and it has just taken off this year delivering the most amazing flavour fruit! Eddy Gordo 1

So allow 3 fruit per planted seed. Same method for good quality pumpkins... Willie2011 1

Grebel Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Waiting patiently until March to start planting again. Garden was stripped a few weeks ago. Managed to lay my hands on some wooden packing crates. Going to line them with some biddum and set up some herbs , lettuce and spinach in the courtyard. Butternut, cucumber, tomatoes and chilies in the garden. This time around I'm planting stuff that I actually eat... Mousea 1
