Hey Len, I can’t tell you whether they’re edible or not before being ripe but I was eating them and feel fine!
I also don’t use a pepper grinder or coffee grinder so I can only tell you that they work fine with a Mortar & Pestle.

About how many you should plant? Well, I also can’t tell you that but if my first description of their huge size gives…[Read more]

Ps. Glad to hear of your success with them! hope you like the flavour

Hi Len, not sure what you mean by when to harvest?… When the vine produces fruit :). It is a permanent vine so just take the fruits off and the vine should fruit again in its next season… (I’m still not sure how different seasons affect this vine as this is only our second year in the house which has the vine).

After drying the seeds I just…[Read more]

This is beautiful, it’s amazing how much we can do for the people over there! Where ever we went in Vietnam I made sure especially to give money to any elderly beggars, I figured that they would have had to go through so much and have seen so many terrible things, they’re very brave people out of necessity… It is just not right that they have to…[Read more]

I know that the fruit is red and tastes like sweetened peanut butter… and I think it grows on a bush… that’s about all I know but I love the flavour so would love to get my hands on a few of the seeds 🙂

Maybe ‘Tomorrow when the War began’? My ten year old cousin really enjoyed that series, supposedly it is supposed to be quiet a long series, too. So the style changes as the child grows older.

Thanks, Pmd you :)I am definitely curious about the MORINGA OLEIFERA!

Thanks Gardenlen, I’ll PM you, just to update for everyone else, by ‘unnusual’ that also includes any heirloom varieties… One thing that I am after is the ‘peanut butter’ fruit bush seeds… Can’t seem to find them for sale in markets 🙁

Really interesting thread, as I’m currently studying the importance of cultures around the world. I definetly understand where you’re coming from Gremmbles, in that maintaining culture and language is vital. It is, as it is in any society, modern or not. And what really makes a modern culture? I guess what I’m saying is that the Aboriginal…[Read more]

Hi, sorry I didn’t realise maybe that was just a term I’ve been hearing alot lately, yep you guys got it right though, it’s all about home-cooking and eating locally – eg. not buying tomatoes in winter because they aren’t from your region etc. I find it’s generally easy to do this by going to local markets and buying what’s on special, because…[Read more]
