Another patch of lemon grass and behind that ,I've started to prepare the ground for chillies.Everything

that is done on this block since the son let us down is being done by me by hand,no machinery at all.

So that's what lemon grass looks like then :D

Believe it or not I'm growing ginger and chillies right here in sunny Kent :)

My wife and I used to grow it in Australia and they thrived in all conditions.The conditions are most probably not the same as yours but we did have frosts from time to time.They did not seem affected but were growing in a protected area.

Anyone happen to know what this fruit is?.... leaves look a bit like a Passiflora vine .... I could not get in closer to get better photo of the fruit! ...

My source tells me it is called Phuc cow ( at least that is what it sounds like to me )and is edible.Here is another one from a place just up the road from us.I am sure it is the same,even the leaves look the same although your image has some mango leaves in amongst the others.

Ah Thanks Ron... thumbsup.gif .....there might have been a Mango tree above the trellis ... (can't remember now blink.png )

An Aussie neighbour thought it was a passion fruit.... is that the same same as Phuc cow? he said passion fruit comes in different colours and sizes.....in OZ land anyway! (?)

(be careful repeating those words, too many times! tongue.png )

I am having a problem with the "Like" button, taking for ever to load.... these last couple of days... Images seem OK..... Have you cleared you cache?

I remember a while back that Colonel Pakdee did a post about this one,I couldn't think of the name and so had to track back a bit.

I am pretty sure it is the same fruit and it's name is Fakkgaw or Spring Bitter Cucumber.One of our neighbors has got the growing from vines in their yard.
