Hi Wendy,

Perfect! Now you got me hungry.

I have been doing something similar with the zukes from my garden.

I was looking for something too grow on his hedgerow that would
grow by itself. Zucchini has made slaves out of us humans
and love to be pampered by us. At least they have made a
slave out of me!

Also, the bland nature of Chayote make it accept butter, Stevia
and cinnamon pretty well, but I am still working on that.
It doesn't come out too well.

Runner beans are climbers and would love the hedgerow bushes, but I'd have
to pay for the seeds and its a fair bet the neigbours would harvest the crop
before I got any.

Its pretty much whatever seeds become available for free, get thrown on any
likely looking patch of common land.

The woods by the cycle track are mostly very old trees that tend to fall
over in any harsh weather we get - it crossed my mind that a few fruit trees
might fill the increasing number of gaps. Any fruit pips/pits I come by get
chucked in there.

The local authority sends workmen to mow any grass verges, so anything
strewn there would get cut. It needs to be seeds that can grow in the rough
bits where the mower can't go.

I have made it many times and it came out fine. I won't use stevia though.
Cook on the stove and it will be like apple pie filling.
