Regan Pryor replied to Colin Cook's discussion passionfruit seeds in the group Food Growing Questions and Answers"I have some seeds for this - but would not want to be responsible for spreading a noxious weed...
They are beautiful though. Apparently the birds get hold of the seed and spread it."

Colin Cook posted a blog postHawke's Bay - Ooooby Get Together
Well, we all met up on a sunny Sunday afternoon and had a wonderful time, meeting a few new faces along with the resident chickens at Colin's place. People brought some great ideas, recipes, plants and seeds to swap along with the most delicious food - Colin whipped up a Chicken Cashew stirfry on the bbq, we had pizzas, super salads, cheesy muffins...and then the desserts!!! Chocolate cake, sweet kebabs and a homemade ice cream! We'll need to get back into the garden to work it all off. Thanks…See More

Lyn Williams said… - Great to meet you 2 too - it was a lovely day and I am looking forward to your event in August. I have planted the leeks and now looking for a strawberry planter as space here is limited for long term sprawly plants!!
This is wonderful!! See you soon. Lyn

- Chookies sound lovely-look foward to seeing them. Glad you liked my garden.It always looks 'unrestrained'. Probably reflects my personality.I don't do tidy very consistently!

- What sort of bantams do you have?

- Hi Colin
Lovely to meet you and Debbie.There are no local Ooooby events posted on that date so looks good. Just post it as an event once you are happy with the date.

- I put the leeks in last night! They're looking a bit sad at the moment, but hopefully they will pick up. The 23rd sounds good - I'm looking forward to it... I was disappointed that I had to leave Hester's place early - was having heaps of fun! Maybe I'll volunteer to host the next one after you. :)
