LOL!!

Unfortunately we don't have any strip clubs nearby.  I will have to take the street corner.  If I'm lucky, I will receive R150 per client.  That means I will have to see at least 28 clients to buy one book.  Nope, I don't think it is worth it.  I also can't go without food for a month.

What prices are we looking at?

Here is a more close-up photo.  This is the biggest fruit we could find.



I think if I want to, I can tear the fruit apart with two fingers.  I don't think you need a knife for it.

I think you can call it sub-tropical.

Summer it can get very hot and dry, although it is summer rainfall.
Winter you can get black frost and our diesel once froze, as well as the dogs' water bowl.

We couldn't see any signs that animals or insects ate it.  Although I need to mention that all the cacti fruit I collected in the same area were also without any signs that something ate it.

We found this when we went foraging for wild fruits today.  It is growing on a vine.  The size of the fruit is about as big as a kumquat.  The skin is soft.

Today we went cactus hunting!!

We got some fruit from the cacti I was asking about.

We got beetroot prickly pear (I don't know what you guys call it), ordinary prickly pear (they grow in abundance around here), and the other two types I was asking about.



Here is an image of the fruit of the first cactus I asked about.  We tasted one fruit.  It is crisp, almost as crisp as a cucumber.  Not very juicy.  When having a small bite, it doesn't really have a taste.  But, when taking a bigger bite, there is a faint hint of a little sweetness, almost like cucumber.  I think it might be the same that Don described.  The size also sounds the same.  We took a cutting that has some flower buds on.



Here is an image of the second cactus.  The fruit doesn't have any thorns on, the skin is smooth.  This one is also not very juicy.  The taste is almost like kiwi fruit.



We divided one fruit of each between four of us.  Well, the fruit is definitely edible, because it is not the undertaker writing here.  I don't even have stomach cramps!!

Thanks everyone for helping me on this.

I will keep you posted when I tasted it. Will post photos of the open fruit.

Before tasting I will make a note next to me for the undertaker. If I don't make it, then he will post the message. Haha

Thank you. Can't wait!!

ChikaZ, it is OK.  Please keep on the lookout.  I will really appreciate it if you can send me some.  Hope it was delicious anyway. 

I think you are totally right!

We harvested some seeds from plants in our garden. We've put it in a ziplock bag with some coco peat.  It got some mold on and my daughter threw it in a container that we use to mix soil.  We used that soil in other pots.  All those seeds germinated like it looks like hair growing in the pot.  They germinated better than the other seeds of the same kind.

That's not GAC seeds! 

That I know!! I have real gac seeds as well.  But what are they??

Hi all

I have a few packets of 10 seeds each of fresh stamvrug (Englerophytum magalismontanum).  I want to trade.  The preferred seeds that I am looking for is abiu, gac, mangosteen, jaboticaba, chocolate sapote, giant grenadilla and adzuki beans.  I will give preference to those who can trade with my preferred seeds.  Also, packets that are being send to me, needs a tracking code from your postal services, otherwise I won't receive it.  If needed, I will pay for the postal service.

Thank you
