There was a gardening report in the newspaper the other day reporting that it is a very bad year in Queensland for passion fruit. I don't know where this so-called garden expert got his information, but after you take a look at the pics here, you will wonder why there is so much misinformation flying around. If this is a bad year, I can't wait for a good one!!!!
Kay brought home 2 small passion fruit plants from the market some months ago and we planted them with the hope that we would get a few this season. Well, take a look at what we have got!!! The two early ones have been picked and eaten and they were the sweetest passion fruit I have ever tasted. Can't wait for the rest to ripen and we will have a feast fit for a king.

As you can see there is going to be a bountiful harvest and these are not all of them. Every day there are more flowers and small fruit forming, so maybe we can go commercial??????
Believe it or not, I've never had a taste of passion fruit. Had my first mango about 2 or 3 months ago.
ReplyDeleteBuffalo - You need to get hold of a passion fruit mate. They are the best tasting fruit along with mangoes. And the only way to devour a mango is naked in the shower so you don't drip the juice all over your clothes!!!!
