Might as well add these here too. I finally harvested enough passionfruit to make a pitcher of juice. These are the last two that fell off the vine. I discovered that letting them sit for a couple of days actually makes them sweeter. I still had to add sugar and water but the resulting drink is really good.

Plus... two years ago I planted the tops of a couple of pineapples. One was the regular kind and it produced a pineapple the next year. This one was from one of the Honey type pineapples and it just sat there on the roof and didn't do much. I kind of got used to it just sitting in the corner and I'd spray it with water in the winter but ignored it other than that. I noticed this week that it is finally producing a pineapple!
