    L- Loganberries

    The loganberry (Rubus × loganobaccus) is a hybrid of the North American blackberry (Rubus ursinus) and the European raspberry (Rubus idaeus),[1][2]accidentally bred in 1881 by James Harvey Logan, for whom they are named.[3] They are cultivated for their edible fruit.

    Description

    The plant and the fruit resemble the blackberry more than the raspberry, but the fruit color is dark red rather than black.[2]

    M - mulberry This is an interesting fact. I believe we have a male tree since it has not had any fruit.

    • Mulberry trees (Morus spp.) are a species that are gender fluid—they may first be male, then female, then change back again. You can find individual mulberry trees that are dioecious—with only male flowers or only female flowers.

    N - New Zealand Spinach

    New Zealand spinach, scientifically known as Tetragonia tetragonioides, is a leafy green vegetable that can be grown in warm and cool climates. It's also known as Warrigal greens and is a good alternative to regular spinach, especially in hot or coastal areas. While it's not a true spinach, it's used in similar ways and is often considered a good source of vitamins and minerals.

    O - Onion I saw a recipe to make an "Awesome Blossom" that one of our restaurants have here. I used to like to eat them but when I saw that they have 831 calories from fat, I have not had one for many years. That is just too many calories and it is not healthy even though it is a vegetable.

    Q- Quince

    Quince

    . This fruit comes from the same family as pear, but can't be eaten raw. Slices of quince go well with apple in desserts such as apple crumble. Quince smells of perfume when cooked, and some people use it as an air freshener.
