May I suggest you use a few of those fig leaves from your pruning to regain your modesty ... :D


After my recent experiences in the Game thread, I refuse to be drawn into this impolite area. Mind you, as someone who went a few rounds with the Gamers, perhaps I have no modesty left to hide. :D

Yeah, I have donums and donums full of citrus, want some? :roll:

Other than them I have figs of a few kinds, apricots, plums, pomegranate, lots of walnuts and almonds, pears, more loquats than I can possibly eat over a season, dates of course, but my current favourite, passion fruit, which JUST started to give some fruits, although not very "passionately" at the moment but I am sure it will get there eventually, as they seem to like Cyprus so far :lol:

Athens is not exactly challenging to growing our "native" trees, still, there is a pomegranate tree and a lemon tree in the front of the house. The lemon is prolific, the pomegranate is unpredictable.

The dark fruit that you are referring to Miltiades, could it be guave? Known as guava, or gauava in Cyprus?

And medlars are definitely not loquats (mespila), they are a different fruit altogether and rather iffy because they got to be really ripe to eat. Really ripe means almost rotting.

The secret goings on in the Games threads are safe with me Bubbles. I am after all a man of some integrity. (I did have a lot more integrity before I stumbled into the Games thread.)

I think the loquat is also referred to as the 'Japanese medlar'. .......japonica.!
