Here is a mini capsicum that I have has resulted in good crops. They are sweet and taste great on their own, in salads or lightly steamed, I may be wrong but believe they are called "Jimmy Nardoo"

Now a question has anyone grown AP passion fruit

I think its possible. In Jamaica does not take anything to grow, its gows wild. Throw in your seeds and there you go, beautiful passion fruit!

We grow veggies in floating rafts in the swimming pool, with 5ppt salt to keep the fish happy! We have had some success with quite a few veggies that tolerate this level of salt- celery (see pic), silverbeet, spinach, beetroot, broccoli and mignionette lettuce, as well as lebanese cress which seems to grow anywhere!

We planted "moon and stars" watermelon, and all of the fruit split at about softball size. In retrospect, the variety is suited to low water conditions, so it was probably a case of the skin not being able to keep up with the rapid growth of fruit. We will try a better suited variety of watermelon next Summer.
Any suggestions as to the variety of watermelon that works? I didn't have any success with a search of the forums.
