Cape gooseberry

I planted a lantern grass in my pot, which is small and short. But such a small plant will also result!

I sprinkle some egg water every day and loosen it. The lantern grass after the rooting is not welcome, it constantly absorbs the nutrients and grows rapidly. A few weeks later, in the place where the branches and leaves crossed, there were green little things. The smaller the little things, the more they finally open their clothes and spit out the yellow flowers. These small flowers are called "yellow little morning glory". After a few days, the small flowers fell on the soil and turned into fertilizer for the earth. The remaining green covers will slowly close together and become small lanterns. The little lantern is green and oily, very cute, and there is a "small bean" inside.

As the leaves of the lantern grass grow longer and larger, the branches become thicker and thicker, and the small lanterns grow up. Every day, the little lanterns grew into big lanterns! As the wind blew, the lantern swayed in the wind, making a "shasha" sound, like a little fairy in a low-pitched poem.

Time flies quickly and the lanterns turn yellow. At this point, take off a yellow lantern, tear it open, and take out the "soybean grain" from the inside. The yellow-green, round lantern fruit is the "soybean grain". Put the lantern fruit in your mouth, yeah, it’s so sweet, it’s better than cherries! This sweet fruit was shipped to the supermarket for sale and became a favorite fruit.

I love the lantern fruit that my family has. If you are hungry, it’s not too late to pick one!
