    Cuttings from Pete have been good fun to grow,and made for a much talked about patio plant by visitors.
    There are masses of fruit,this one being the biggest...How do I know when they are ripe..?..........Pete,or anyone! [​IMG]

    Its well on the way Nick, looks good.
    I left mine untill they turned slightly yellow, but it could be a matter of trial and error.
    It should last a long time on the plant, but if outside keep an eye open for splitting, if we get any really wet weather.
