Passion Fruit Plants Anyone?

I'VE got quite a few passion fruit saplings ready for distribution to people who have gardens and who are really keen to have them. With this in mind, I had emailed one of my friends, Gita, thus:
"Gita, I have some healthy saplings of the purple variety of passion fruit to give away. A friend of mine had given me some of the fruit and I had carefully dried the seeds and buried them in a pot. They sprouted and have grown into healthy little plants and I'm looking for good homes that will nurture them and see them grow and yield fruit...like sending kittens and pups to good homes who will care for them...:)

Would you like to have one or two, since you have a garden? I'd be very happy to give you if you like. See pics of the fruit. Also made a cheesecake and topped it with the pulp. It was yummmm and is on my food blog. Hope it whets your appetite!"

Gita's reply:
"Oooo it really looks yuummm...am drooling over the pics.. :) I will be most happy to take the saplings from you and nurture them along with my two cats and a dog.:)

Its so uncanny...when my Mom was here last, she asked me to plant a passion fruit creeper and was saying that she had the juice at a friend's place and loved it. My Mom will be happy too...it's as if you heard our conversation...Awesome!"


Isn't that incredible? What a coincidence! And to think that I wasn't even eavesdropping on them?! Stories like this really make my day. Meanwhile, I've been busy transplanting the plants from the pot into small plastic bags for distribution. And yes, I'm reusing plastic bags, thereby contributing my wee bit to reducing my carbon footprint!
