Wonder if it’s that red peanut bean? It’s an heirloom seed. I would like to have some. Want to see, a few? I understand if you don’t...
I'll take a picture for you!

We are in Winter here Down Under - I've got cauliflower, onion, cabbage, broccoli and silver beet growing, some in containers.
I have 3 grape vines growing in large pots - they were going great till we had a heat wave that knocked all the small bunched of grapes to fall off and die. I literally had 1 lone grape.
One of my potted blueberry bushes is still flowering and forming fruit. All my other potted plants are pretty dormant, but doing ok.
I experiment a lot with growing seeds from locally produced fruits - I have apricot, peach, nectarine and apple growing. I'm also trying to sprout avocado, and have three mango trees I've grown from seed.
I have also ordered a lot of Native Bush seeds which I hope to grow too as an extra food source.
I'll take a picture for you!
Thought I typed sell a few. Ugh. This board changes your words pretty badly now.
PM me and I'll mail ya some. If you are the biggest security problem I got I'm doing good.
Plum trees took a real beating from the drought this year, they gonna need a lot of tlc come summer. View attachment 10659
To much rain to quick, when the drought broke, made the trunks split will see what survives, have to cleanup those patches with a sharp knive so nothing can pack in there.Wow do they all look like that. It almost looks like blight damage of some kind.
Hope not ☹The picture looks like a dead tree.
I’m getting a few ripe blueberries now but the vast majority are still not close to ripe. I’ve never seen anywhere near this much fruit though. Hope to get twenty or thirty gallons from them. The thornless blackberries are loaded too. I guess all the early rain really made a difference this year. I’m going to have to step up my watering from now on. I meant to pick the garden this evening but finishing my solar project was more on my list. I’ll be out there early tomorrow. I did see a couple tomatoes starting to turn color! Can’t wait for that first vine ripe one. There are hundred reds of green ones of all sizes. I planted about 7 different types of them this year.

It’s a crap shoot every year. My apples are looking great but the 8 plums I have didn’t produce a single plum.The fruit situation is the same over here this year. I am looking forward to a bumper plum harvest.

Likely. I never noticed any fruit on the trees. I’m still pissed about the cherries. They were loaded and the birds wiped them out in one day.... bird stew maybe?Late frosts??
