The plant is native to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru and was widely grown in South Africa beginning in the 19th century. It is unrelated to true gooseberries of the genus  Ribes  (family Grossulariaceae). Cape gooseberries are bittersweet, slightly tart, and quite juicy. They get their name from the paper-thin cape that covers and protects the fruit inside until it ripens. The casing is green at first, fading to a light brown as the fruit ripens. If kept inside its casing, a Cape Gooseberry can keep for up to 45 days Tasting note: Sweet-tart & pineappley Hales Best Spanspek has been a favourite melon of gardeners for over 100 years. The relatively small melons typically weigh 2.5kg or more, growing off plants that can stretch to a width of 1.5m. The fruit itself is noted for its succulence and sweetness. Tasting note: Aromatic & fleshy Sugar Baby Watermelon is a stunning, superbly sweet, small watermelon that packs an intense sweet punch. A great little producer for the home garden or gardener that has limited space. This heirloom watermelon was introduced in 1956 and has been earning fans ever since. This small, round melon is called an icebox type because it is petite enough to fit in the fridge and grows on compact vines. This widely adapted heirloom variety is solid, dark green on the outside with a bright red, firm and fine-grained flesh that is super sweet. Watermelon contains high levels of healthy antioxidants, making Sugar Baby a great sweet way to pack in good nutrition.
