passion fruits are here

So, one of the first things i had to do when i got to israel is to check my passion fruit bushes. I helped plant one of them last year when i was here, so that they would pollinate and we would get fruits.

wow, what a year has supplied. they were left untended for 2 months, and there were hundreds of passionfruits laying around on the ground. i would say about 25% of them were perhaps still good, so noa took the fruit out of the shells and froze it, and saved the rest for me to eat.

it really is a big plant. the isreali climate is pretty much ideal for them.

  1. I think we should attempt to set up a small Israeli microclimate in my backyard, so that we can grow these delicious fruits. Seriously. Think about it.
