        Nice @Spruce ! I wouldn't have believed pics like that in the past, but I saw some in a specialist's garden this summer and they were amazing! Vanilla fraise was a bit like the top one

          You have too good a memory! But yes, this is now my third attempt, before with seeds and then cuttings, The latter I got going and even flowers, but alas! I don't get much help and at times I desperately need it. So I will keep my :fingers crossed: as I love the fruit.

            Thank you

            new varieties for 2025 , shorter growing and stronger stems as the older varieties to tend to flop with the weight of the flowers ..

              Pepinos are great fun. Just cut them back every year and over winter like peppers, I think thats the best way to do it. Doing stuff like that is work though, have to water it indoors and so on.
