aka Ceylon spinach, climbing spinach, gui, acelga trapadora, bratana, libato, vine spinach and Malabar nightshade.

It's not a real spinach and it has an earthy taste but it's full of goodness and such an efficient plant in that just one would probably equal a couple of rows of traditional spinach!

A good filler food in soup especially.

"The vine should be trellised and two plants are sufficient for most families through the summer and fall growing season.".

On the taste level - at the bottom of the scale - but a lovely looking fruit and it has dense vegetable matter like a potato so probably lots of nutrients. When harvested small they are tender and taste like mild peas. The ones in the pic are too big because I didn't discover them until late. Seems to be an easy-to-grow plant and if your garden doesn't produce much it's a plant for you as it produces a lot of fruit.

"Chokos in Australia were known as a 'filler' for low-income families during the Great Depression. Given the choko's ability to grow wild and yield plenty of crops, it was seen as a free backyard source of fibre and nutrition."

"Great pics, bro. I know I said you were the reason this site has gone to shit but these pics make me see how you complement the place like no-one else. Keep it up, man!" @MasklessTheGreat

" Must you rub it in, Queeri, that I live in the shadow of a Pennsylvania Steel Mill? Anyway, dude, these pics cheer me up no end. Appreciated, bro. @big_fat_dangus

"Fantastic pics, paul. John is away next week and I'd like you to come around and take some pics of me by the pool. I'm a little self-conscious when he's around but with you I feel...I feel so natural". @Cynabuns

"Absolute shit. We want photos of Harley-Davidsons with naked dames stretched over them 'cos we are Americans, goddamnit, and the girls at the roadhouse call me the Montana Mongoose 'cos I can go places other men can't!.There are advantages to, you know, being small!" @dock

"It's a change, paul, from a lot of the stuff I'm seeing on this site. Folk tell me their disgusting medical problems for some reason. I'm not a doctor ffs! Great pics, man, you're a talented photographer" @dassar

"These pics give me flashbacks, man, to when I was living in your country (Adelaide). I met my wife, Sarah, in Adelaide. She lived in a Terrace House at Grange Beach. We'd go for a swim and come back to her place and she'd walk around in her skimpy green bikini. We'd just met but being a typical Aussie lass she was quite comfortable being half naked. I was used to Canadian women all rugged up in seal pelts and bison fur. I'm not sure if Sarah was being a tease but I can tell you, bro, I was as hard as Ayers Rock! Anyway the rest is history. Keep the pics coming!" @BushChuck

The problem is this critter - the bower bird:

https://birdlife.org.au/bird-profiles/satin-bowerbird/

The female is a lovely bird and has a lovely whooping sound at dawn (male has the same sound, I think, but isn't as attractive). But the bower bird is partly a ground bird and very adept at getting into small places where it snips the leaves of new plants. So the plants hardly get a chance to grow let alone have fruit. I think the bower bird is probably second only to the brush turkey as an Aus gardener's nightmare.
