Some mixed pickings for Sunday lunch. Wonder if my buds from Oz can identify all of these?

Green Beans and strawberries. I'm taking the easy ones.
Other things look like chili's or capsican and that husk tomato thing with the leaves over it.

gooseberry

Cape goosberries, chillies look like jalepeno's, either my eyes are playing up again or those strawberries have a purplish tinge ? hybrid/cross,others look like runner beans.

A Raspberry perhaps...

We call those "Tomatillos"

My wife says they are delicious by themselves both cooked and raw, in salads, in HOT salsas, and many other ways.

or is it something different synapto?

Common Name: Cape Gooseberry

Botanical Name: Physalis peruviana

Yum!

Yes, very yum. One of those "childhood fruits" for me. One bite brings back a rush of memories of the good old days picking them on the farm as a child.

I grew 3 very large bushes of them in my home AP system from a couple of seeds collected at one of my commercial sites.

I think some how Gran made jam from the few we picked
that made it inside
We finished off last years bottled harvest with ease

ok, maybe I was just hungry for a Tomatillo, they do seem to look similar in the picture. do you have tomatillos there? I grew up with this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Stachelbeeren.jpgas a "gooseberry". Many great memories with this one as well. Send me a few of your cape gooseberries to get started and I will send you some of our "gooseberries" for you to try.

Address ??

I just PM'd you.
