I grew these 'pumpkin peppers' for kicks. Actually they are in the eggplant family. The earlier ones rotted on the plants but these seem to be lasting in a basket on the counter. They are up to about 2 1/2 inches across.
Loads of Melampodium.
Got about five ripe buckeyes on my Bottlebrush Buckeye this year- it is just now getting big and flowering enough. Taking that maple down will probably help it.
THe roots from a Maypop vine.. it did not flower well in this shady spot.
