Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Spider berry update, Campanumoea lancifolia:

No ripe berries for Halloween. Alas. I saw spotted cucumber beetle on it yesterday and squished it. Also squished a tree cricket. A couple of unripe berries were slightly nibbled and discarded (probably cricket). I tried a green one and it tastes like baby peas. Not bad. Hopefully ripe berries are better.

A large round kumquat that is starting to ripen. The pores are yellowing while the skin is still green. The skin is shiny and is reflecting white. Behind it are roundish leaves and the stem they are hanging off of.

I was worried the pollinators wouldn’t find these flowers after two new species were completely ignored (achocha and pink soba). But they found it. 😊 Maybe I will have spider berries for Halloween?
