I'm Loving The Passion Fruit

One of the many packets of seeds that I've purchased were for passionfruit. A very yummy fruit but very expensive to buy at the shops... $30KG. So I've been very keen to give them a go.

I managed to grow 4 plants from seeds:





Most Beautiful Flower!


We have only had 2 fruit in their first year... but hopefully if they survive winter we should have plenty next year.

I'm growing them along the pond fence, and I'm very impressed at how well they have done, so I'm going to increase the plant numbers... we have 4 plants on one side of the fence, so I will add another 8 plants in to cover another 2 sides of the fence. The fence is possibly a little on the low side, but I will see how they go before I think about raising it.  

My attempt at raising a second lot of seedlings from seeds has not been that successful so far. Fingers crossed they sprout soon.
