I'm happy that you were able to find a good home for the sheep. I know that you will miss them. I always thought that kiwi grew on little shrubs, this is really interesting to see.

Their property is amazing. The guy has a lot of bonsai plants too and the woman does sculptures out of metal components.

@LindaOHio I hope so too. That's my only worry as there are quite a few sheep there. But maybe they'll just become more flock sheep.

@JudyEv that is the same for me. Funny sometimes we eat things and don't think about how they got to us!

I have a couple of kiwi plants growing here. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get them to produce any fruit yet.

@Fleura Uhm...

have you thought about talking nicely to the plants instead of threatening them, Fleur? My plants grow better when I'm nice to them.

@JudyEv One of them is in a pot but I suspect it isn't really big enough. The other is struggling to really get established. I have often seen it suggested that they can be grown over a greenhouse (to provide support for the vine, and shade from too much sun in summer for the greenhouse) so I've planted mine there. They are meant to be very vigorous but so far (after about 2 years) it's only about 3 feet tall!

I had no idea how Kiwi fruit were cultivated. Since I like Kiwis, I could be quite happy with them growing around here

It might be a bit cold for them. I don't know where they originated from - whether they are a tropical fruit or not.

@Ronrybs DE put up a map and it seems they'd grow in temperate areas - which might rule out parts of England! lol

Thanks for that pic, I was curious about how kiwi fruit grow too. Perhaps I should plant one (do they sell young kiwi plant I wonder)?

What a coincidence! I am enjoying kiwi right now as my mid morning fruit snack.

And before I saw this picture, I was under the impression that Kiwis grow on trees. I had no idea that it grows on vines. So the fruits that I am having today..kiwi and grapes.. both grow on vines

@arunima25 I'm always learning something here and enjoy hearing about the everyday lives of people in other countries - like yourself.

I'm sure I'm much more tolerant than when I first joined.

It's good when we can grow fruit bearing trees and plants. Waiting for the photo to load.

Glad Solomon and Harry found a new home, it sounds lovely. Was this with people you knew already, or did you meet new friends?
