The health benefits of pomelo and grapefruit
I've been wondering about what to do with all the poorman grapefruit and mandalos I grow, now I know I will be juicing them. Turns out they are loaded with spermicin, a substance known to significantly slow down aging. Apparently, as cells get old, they produce less and less spermicin, so a good intake of grapefruit and related citrus seems like a wise choice.
I keep finding more and more positive references on a lot of fruit. So far, only cherimoya has turned up negative. So eat your grapefruit, and if you don't have any, then get yourself to the closest nursery and buy a grapefruit or pomelo tree.

Tamarillo with weird leaves
So basically it's always had wrinkles on the leaves from when it was 2-3 inches high. The growth does not seem to be stunted. Is this a disease or just maybe a weird genetic thing.

Ground cherries and poha
I'm looking into growing these and I had some questions. First how do you start them? Second where might you locate seeds? Lastly what can you do with them besides eat them raw or put them in jellies?

Growing one. It died back, but the root was fine so it might come back.
