Hi..

Ate my first fig and passion fruit from respectively the
garden and the greenhouse yesterday :~))))

Have been thinking about figs since 2005 but I thought it
were a fairy-tale that they would grow in Central Europe.
How long do you cultivate it and what are your experiences
in winter..?

I have mine in a LARGE pot on my roof garden. It comes throught the winter
without any protection. I think it would even better if it were in the
soil.
Picture of it on my home page (bottom of the page behind the chairs)

The passion fruit was a complete surprise when it started producing fruit
this year! I orgininaly grew it for the flowers :~))

BTW: Did a Google search and found this:

Now I know what will happen..! :-)

Which Passion fruit Jenny? We have been eating P antioquiensis fruit for a
few weeks now but they take ages to ripen, but are rather nice, its one of
the banana passion fruits and has elongated fruits.
