About My Edibles

Hi Guys,

Here are our small collection of fruit trees and our 3 boys.

We have a nice northerly aspect, but, have afternoon shade, so hours of sunlight are our biggest concerns.

We also have 7 vegetable beds where we grow sweet corn, spinach, tomatoes, lettuce, beans, peas, strawberries. We have some chooks who provide us with eggs as well.

Does anyone even read this? hello out there? I think I may be wasting my time here.....

Fruiting heavily. But, not very low chill, as fruiting in mid January, so, fighting fruit fly. Flavour is good, and it is our best yielding plant in the garden so far. White flesh, old style nectarine. May replace with a low chill one one day if the fruit fly annoy me too much.

Question:

Anyone got a tasty yellow flesh nectarine for wollongong? Early fruiting?

Thriving in this spot. I have been advised it needs perfect drainage, and I am hoping to achieve this. Fruiting well, just waiting for the fruit to yellow off. Kids are looking forward to eating it.

This has only been in for 12 months. I had the neighbour convinced it was a free austar antenna/contraption. The climbing plant gave it away in the end.
