Foxy Lady: What am I on approval for, not sweeping my leaves up off the path? Sorry, I been so busy with the tournies on here I have not had time and not only that I am hungry and cold and if I went outside to sweep up I would probably freeze and starve to death then I would time out on all my games so I will have to leave the leaves for a bit!

Lisa D: No just lately its been the norm lol!

Mousetrap: I think i read about that somewhere.Is that weather unusual for you?

Lisa D: Crikey what a week we have had here. A big storm and winds of 210mph in Blackpool. 80 to 90mph where I live. 16 people killed with things falling on them. Floods. My mam has roof damage and a fench blown down and smashed. They have given snow for us for tomorrow.

Were getting all kinds of snow now.

BerniceC:

Foxy Lady: it is only 35degC here today and the humidity is about 80%...just a cold one....NOT

We had an ice storm and now it's snowing.Talk about crazy weather.

skipinnz: as I said they are only young plants, but they are fruiting well :)

To make the jam you have to take all the "red" leaves off the outside and save the seeds...you wrap the seeds in muslin, boil cup for cup sugar/fruit with the juice of a lemon, and the seeds...boil for 45 minutes. The seed help with the pectin as the setting agent...it really is a nice jam.

BerniceC: I'm impressed, and it looks like you'll have a lot of fruit off of that plant.

try this Skip....just taken this pic for you :)

skipinnz: im going outside to see if there are any flowers on the plants....they have only been in the ground about 4-5 months so are young plants, but I have already had about a kilo of fruit from 4 small plants....I have propogated another dozen plants so hopefully will have plenty of this delicious fruit shortly>

BerniceC:That explains somethings now I'm interested in knowing what sort of a tree this rosella flower grows on. Is it a tropical plant?

skipinnz: HAHAHA....not the birds....Rosella are a fruit.....looky here
