Kiwis: 1 bush, 200 lbs

Our 2nd floor, south-facing deck currently provides the main support. Jen and her friend Sarah picked the whole crop in one go just as the frosts started to set in. Unripe still, we bagged them up and stored them in the fridge - a functioning root cellar would have been good enough. At room temperature they ripened in six days. Now, seven weeks after picking, even the chilled ones are beginning to ripen.




About 2/3's of the pick. An amazing crop of sweet vitamin c from 1 plant.
