Some weird ones I'm going to be having for sale next spring if all goes well.
It's so fun to grow things that you can't even find good growing instructions for!
Does anyone know when a solanum quitoense (naranjilla)is ripe? I have one in the living room that has fruits a little larger than a golf ball, but green as grass! I think maybe they're supposed to turn orange?
