Most of what is in the picture has grown over the last three years. And it's mostly on top of large rocks, the border of their bed.

Oooh, decorative, or do you plan on eating some?

Mostly decorative, but we have a tortoise that really likes them. I've had them before, but not ours yet. Was thinking about grilling some up this summer.

What do they taste like? I live in a wet region where they cannot really grow.

Not really sure how to describe. The berries are kinda like a strawberry watermelon flavor. And the pads are, I don't know, they are kind of their own thing. Maybe green bean like, but thicker.

Sounds tasty! I'll have to try them at some point :)
