The seeds look right, but maybe it just needed to ripen a bit more and go brown. Maybe they don't in this country. I shall consult Bob Flowerdew, if it can be done, he will have done it.

Interesting to note your verdict on the cucamelon. I got one seed to germinate last year and it gave up the ghost long before producing a crop. Sounds as if I did not miss much. My vine has escaped this year! It has more bunches than I have ever seen on it before and I'm wondering whether that is down to the mild and wet winter. Thanks for your comment on my blog which sent me in the direction of your courgette links. I will definitely give the crumble recipe a go :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-80676872317036612302014-08-17T20:08:19.742+00:002014-08-17T20:08:19.742+00:00Oh it's lovely in your greenhouse.

Can you grow it outside, and does it fruit and ripen? I really love passion fruit, it would be great if we could grow them here. The tomatoes look healthy, with some fruit coming along, hopefully you'll get a reasonable harvest.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-14252894523642399892014-08-17T19:17:03.050+00:002014-08-17T19:17:03.050+00:00Awesome update lovely post thank you for sharing l...Awesome update lovely post thank you for sharing lovely post Sue God bless LINDA'Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18322944728491268995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-91279992560900503812014-08-17T19:14:18.485+00:002014-08-17T19:14:18.485+00:00Your plants always look fresh and healthy.
