They are actually vines, 2 of them, and they get plenty of light and heat reflected off the bay, and then reflected back off the house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Those pictures definitely blow me away. What do you do with all those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 We give them away to friends and to the local senior citizen center. We make jam with some of them but since sugar is my downfall I try not to eat sweets, but fail miserably. We tried freezing them but it does something chemically to them and they turn out bitter! Can't figure that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did plant a kiwi that is supposed to have red fruit but as yet no fruit where the green kiwi are prolific. Wow! Now we know where the 'Orchard' in Port Orchard came from!

Actually that was what I thought when we moved here and later found out it was a British Officer named Lt. Peter Orchard who first sailed into the inlet to document its existence.
