I must agree, 600 kiwis were a bit much!!

Since then OH, has pruned the vine more than he was doing ........... you wouldn't not believe how quickly thos things can grow!

200 is much better!

Once they are fully ripe .............. which is about 6 weeks after they've been picked ................. OH starts to eat 2 or 3 with his lunch, every day.

He also makes kiwifruit jam, which is delicious!

The kiwi vine seems to be OK .................



......... but OH did collect 2 shopping bags of fruit off it yesterday afternoon, and cut it back quite a lot.


Plus, I think the wind was not coming directly from the south.





Hope you liked the kiwifruit jam


it's soooooooooooooooooo easy to make!

gins


honestly ................. £6 ??????



wow!


We first had Kiwi jam in those little containers when staying in a hotel in Berlin in 1985 or 86, and loved it.

We then continued the trip in Scotland ............... and the local paper in either Edinburgh or Glasgow had a recipe for making it .................. and that is what we've used ever since.


We used to buy the fruit when it was cheap, but then OH was given the female vine as a birthday present, and about 4 or 5 years later he was given the male vine.

They do have to be about 7 years old when they start bearing fruit.
