🧵🪡

This thread is about plants that I tried this year and won’t try again next year as well as ones that did really well.

East coast North America, zone 8/9, rainfall 120cm.

*Updated with pics

A very dark pink to red Jamaican cherry being held over a very green citrus leaf (red pomelo). Both the berry and citrus leaf are covered in water droplets bc it was raining.
Looks like a pic taken from outer space. Bright yellow, petals frame the pic and the circle around a center that is dark maroon. There is a fuzzy staminal column that ends with a dark fuzzy stigma bordered with brilliant yellow anthers. The stigma is so dark red it is almost black. The flower is a Nkruma Tenten okra.
A purple curry leaf berry surrounded by native physalis still in yellow, papery, husks, katuk leaves, and huazontle leaves.
On a wooden cutting board is an assortment of leaves, peas, seed pods, cucumbers, radish, peppers and flowers.

2/ pink soba and achocha.

These grew really well, but nothing really pollinated them. I got no fruit from the achocha even though they grew to be monstrous vines. Both the soba and achocha were growing adjacent to monarda and globe amaranth which are very popular with pollinators.

There are just a few viable seeds on the pink soba and they reseed themselves but not enough to harvest as food.

@jblue I tend to have better luck with soba in seasons other than summer.
