Doesn't taste of anything much but I wondered if anyone had tried growing it from the seeds? They romp away from seeds. Got a pot of 20 plants on the windowsill. Must seperate them and pot them up properly... Les Obviously things take a bit longer to filter down to the west country. ;-) What do you do to the seeds before sowing them? By that, I mean do you just scoop them out of the fruit, gloop and all and plant them, or do you rinse them in cold water to get rid of the gloop and then plant them? If I remember I scooped some gloop onto a teaspoon and then dotted it about onto the compost and sieved a little compost VERY thinly over the top. No mould or fungus just loads of very strange little seedlings. Starting out like leaved succulents with two fleshy cotyledon leaves and then launching into full, single stemmed cactus mode. They seem to have a long, thin stalk preceding the large, fleshy cactus bit... Very strange little things... Les -- Remove Frontal Lobes to reply direct.
