The only type of kiwi I can grow in my climate is the Hardy kiwi.
Do you actually grow any of these Foods you talk about? Or do you just Google photos and pull the information off the internet about the food?
I would love to see what you are actually growing instead of what pictures you can find online.
oh thanks for your insightful comment, I am not a farmer but I am a trained food scientist.
