who knows about fruits? do you? i need a tropical/exotic fruit that i can do a paper on. can u help?

i know there are a million fruits i can choose from, but i mentioned starfruit as a possibility to the prof. and he said that was way overdone (too commonly done). so i’m thinking, don’t do an over done fruit. well…what’s not overdone?
nobody mentioned a sitaphal. i’m gonna assume it’s fair game. thanks tho

Is there a general homemade mixture concoction for spraying almost any plant to combat garden pests?

Yes, have a problem w/’something’ eating leaves of roses, zinnia’s, bell pepper plants in my garden.
Someone had said water, soap n oil mixture works for roses, is this effective for the other plants as well?

Can anyone recommend a non-toxic product or combination of ingredients that will repel garden bugs?

I used seven last season and I suspect it made me sick a couple of times when I harvested too soon after application and couldn’t get the produce fully cleaned. I want something non-toxic to humans. I was wondering about a mix of dish soap and vinnegar or something like that.
