Cyclanthera explodens, no joke, really. Achocha. Perfectly edible. Should be fun this year if it fruits and I am planting it next. to the path. :twisted:

Put the disclaimer up of course.

That's a great site Gobs - lots of groovy stuff available! I'll have to remember that one for next year's seed

I was expecting lots of new growers to be trying new things but I'm surpirsed that DD and gobs are trying anything new as they come across as so knowledgeable and seasoned that I would have thought they had tried everything by now
