I've been meaning to post a new photo of our monster plant. It was looking less impressive as the original leaves are dying off, and we ate (or gave away) all the calebasses. It keeps on growing though, and the vines now stretch all the way down the side of the house and are starting to creep around the back.
I also discovered that it's fruiting (vegetabling?!) again. They have a way to go before being ready to eat though. I've been told that, in fact, calebasses like this are often harvested and kept for several months before being eaten. We didn't need to give them away, we could have stockpiled them and eaten them during a cyclone or something.
Oh, and to finish today's tour of the garden, here's a bonus picture of a lizard in a letterbox.
start piling up the calebasse :)
