This year whilst i was in Malta I bought a Veg in the marrow family
which a friend thought was called the 100 year fruit? but I wont swear
to this as the stall I bought it of knew no english name for it.
Pics athttp://www.twango.com/channel/Taffy4u2.Unknown
Also on there is a picture of a pink flower, bought the seed last year
as a Solanium with edible fruit, it's no Solanium.
The plants were grown in an unheated poly tunnel and died back to
ground level for the winter.
Any ideas as to the names of either/bot5h plants.
Thanks

Is your news server playing up? Just in case it's abolished my earlier
reply, it looks like a choko, a chayote. Pointless recipes at:http://www.burkesbackyard.com.au/2001/archives/2001_archives?p=1320

Thanks Mike,
Something is playing up as I didn't have a single new message on the
group yesterday, and it still says no activity despite several new
messages this morning.
Knowing how MSN and a couple of other servers have been playing up I
just thought that with time it would come back.
Thanks again.
