Tony are these some sort of passion vine? They are crawlers and don't have the curly que things on them. They look different as they age and I don't want to pull them out if they are. Thanks!

don't think there Passiflora. Do you have an update on your Date seedlngs?

Jananas Bananas · 07-24-2010, 12:30 PM

Maybe it is poison oak. I'd better google that before I pull them up bare handed. I have some pictures I took either this morning or yesterday of my "mystery Iraq seed date trees"! HA! HA! I will upload them so you can look at them. ~J

Off topic, sorry, but I had missed your post about date seedlings. I had heard of someone in Texas (back from Iraq now) who had written about Sadam's Majool (sp?). Is this what you've got started?

Can Anyone ID These Palm Seedlings?

Jananas Bananas · 07-28-2010, 08:42 AM

I've got fruit!

OK I know it is going to change color when it ripens. Then what? How do you prepare it, save seeds (dry them or what), make jam or eat fresh? (yes, I KNOW I need more than one for jam, wise guys) Do you eat the seeds also? When I have grown these in the past the fruit is full of air and I didn't have much of anything. Is there a way to store them until the other fruit ripens too?

I tape the blades on the blender,to keep the seed from getting chopped up. Put some water in with the fruit and blend. Strain out the seed and save for planting. The juice can be frozen in ice cube trays . You can eat the seed.

harveyc · 07-28-2010, 09:02 AM

Yes, eat the seeds and all or add everything to juice, etc. I tried to find a YT vid of a guy I know who was eating some of Tony's fruits last year but looks like he deleted the thread. He and his boy were pigging out on them. Cut them in half and scoop out with a spoon.

Janan, those 2 bottom pics look like grape vine.

harveyc · 07-28-2010, 02:38 PM

I agree with Patty, but thought it might also be something that looks similar.

My Frederick had it's first flower open today. I got this plant from Tony last year and it had been in a pot until I planted it in the ground with my unusual trellis on 26 days ago and it's growing vigorously!

When planted July 2, 2010

Today, July 28, 2010

First flower on July 28, 2010

Did it open around 11am ?

sunfish · 07-29-2010, 08:02 PM

Picked up two new passiflora's,don't remember the varieties,and twenty packets of seeds

harveyc · 07-29-2010, 08:26 PM

Tony, I've been out in the fields irrigating alfalfa most of the days lately and have no idea when it opened. I think I noticed it around noon or maybe later. Two more opened today but I didn't see them until around 3pm. I think I have 7 more buds that should open soon and I'll try to look more often if I'm around.

Do they always just open for one day?

If it's overcast they will stay open longer,like the Dragon fruit flowers.

saltydad · 07-30-2010, 03:55 PM

My flowers only last one day, Harvey (P. incarnata).

harveyc · 07-31-2010, 12:32 AM

Thanks, Howard. I guess that's how these will do also. I had two more open today (don't know what time as I was at m other farm an hour away).
