What did you harvest recently? Post photos if you like, and brag about what you grew or foraged.

It is all flowers in every field right now. Beautiful but not edible yet!

Do cherry tomatoes count? Technically those are fruits.

I had the first harvest of those last week. Pretty nice 🤤

[-] wolfyvegan@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago

Yes, those count! Are they a named cultivar that you grew or volunteer bird poop tomatoes?

[-] poVoq@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago

Some seeds that I bought from the local hardware store. Nothing special.

They can't all be winners, but you never know until you grow them. I once bought tomato seeds from a local hardware store. Best tomatoes I ever ate. Unfortunately, I lost that seed lineage years ago. Some days I still miss those tomatoes.

In terms of "fruit", the only things I see ripening so far are strawberries and mayapples. I keep wanting to try eating mayapples, but they are toxic if you don't get them when they are ripe.

Mayapple... Is that a Syzygium?

EDIT: I looked it up, and apparently not. I've never heard of such a thing. Do you know what the fruit is like?

The plants (around me, at least) generally have a single flower that when pollinated turns into a single green berry. The berry eventually turns yellow when it's ripe.

Seems like the taste is pretty mild. The toxin in it is used (in real medical sense) to treat warts, apparently, so that's cool.
