Shiva Grows

how does the panama x thai smoke?

So far I've only grown 1 thai x panama fem - it's excellent. I only have enough left for 2 volcano session. It has elements of both sides.

Nothing better than pottering about high - I've got some turkey stock going, some beef fat rendering, a lamb stew on the go, music on, sun on full - happy days!

Some kiwano(African horned cucumber).
I’ve never done them before and if honest, I’d forgot they were there and thought it was a late cucumber until I smelt it.

The smell from the exterior is overripe strawberries and melon with a mango cucumber thing in the background. Cut, it smells like a slightly fruity cucumber but I’d imagine the whole fruit will sweeten as it mature and ripens fully.
Very spiky and sharp to handle, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was from a cactus…
