Reduce weight with vegetables and fruits May 7, 2012

I know our pokok markisa or passion fruit vines are growing, and producing fruits. I am expecting more, hoping to see hundreds dangling, like what I have seen in google pictures. However that's the best  our vines could offer. So far we had taken 3 fruits, ripened well, yellow in colour.

PASSION FRUIT FLOWERS

I am almost certain that our passion fruit flowers opened up later in the day, around 5pm. I checked out around midnight, they were still wide opened. The next morning the flowers folded up  and stay folded for a few days until baby fruit push through. There were four flowers yesterday evening, and I definitely hope all four would end up as fruits.

 I hope the wire will be able to stand the weight.

markisa, this should ripen soon.

Gradually, the colour changes from green to yellow. 

It's time for harvest when it turns yellow

It requires a bit of patience to separate markisa seeds. I have collected enough seeds out of the three fruits that had been harvested. So there will be little seedlings soon!
