Approximately 20 seeds

These a gorgeous vining plants. The leaves, flowers, and fruit are all edible. The fruit is at it’s sweetest when the skin starts to wrinkle. The flesh around the seed will be yellow at it’s sweetest. They continue to ripen after being picked, or falling off the vine. (We would shake the vines and pick up the fruits that fell to harvest. You can also feel the difference in the weight of ripe vs unripe fruit.) The fruit of this variety stay a nice, matte green. Unlike the purple varieties you may find elsewhere. If you want the fruit, don’t eat all the flowers, becuase they grow from the flowers. It also has medicinal properties.

If the plants like where you plant them, they’ll keep coming back year after year. These particular seeds survived a dry, hot Arizona summer with 110+ temperatures, in full sun.
