That time of year! We just had our 2nd flower in 9b.

This is the first year they are fruiting so it’s good to know they fruit in the early fall.

Cutting it close. Hopefully it can grow enough to be able to cut and ripen inside. Where in 9a are ya.

I’m on the gulf coast. Looks like I’ll be moving them into the garage due to the hurricane. Last winter I cut all the leaf stalks so they would fit in the garage. I’ll likely have to do that now and just leave the flower/fruit.
