mint Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 But my figs are not ripening as before in the warmth and sunshine. Hardly worth eating now as they are obviously unripe and not sweet[+o(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Raspberries are my favorite fruit but I've never grown them. Raw, jam, desserts etc.You can buy them in bags, frozen , from supermarkets - Sacrilege? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Funny, Norman, I was thinking of the poem by Lawrence too but as their are ladies present I was slightly wary of drawing attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Blimey, you two are something else![:)]I pick the fruit off the tree, I tear it open between the index fingers and thumbs of both hands and I eat it skin and all. Tastes great when it's properly sun-ripened.When we were young, they used to give us syrup of figs to keep our bowels "regular". So, I reckon you need to eat the skin if you want to have the benefit of the fibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Does anyone eat the orangey-yellow fruit of the parsiflora climber?This year I developed a passion (pun intended) for this fruit. Never fancied them before but this year they were large and ripe and juicy. Now with these, I do discard the skin. Just peel open and eat the lovely red seedy flesh inside but be warned that you need a really good plant with large, oval fruits; otherwise they taste horrible.

Gardengirl Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I've never thought about eating the fruit; we have a passiflora heavy with fruit growing up the trellis on our south-facing wall in the UK; maybe I should try them..........
