24/08/10 Frost: Medium About My Edible BackyardWhy Fay Love's Edible Plants I love gardening, but am struggling with arthritis & gout. I am 70 y.o. & I use an electric scooter to move about the block. We only moved into our new house in June 07 & are just starting our 8th new garden. Bit of a gadabout. Soil is loam over clay (old pasture). Block (1 1/3 acres) slopes slightly down to road facing west. I am trying to grow as many different kinds of food as I can, especially fruit, berries, nuts, annual & perennial veges. Looking at my pictures you may notice we are infested wth Patterson's Curse, also not visible are cat's heads (caltrop - very nasty, especially to wheels & feet). Picture 1. - Local resident came for a bbq but it's not on.  * You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

Rocoto Tree Chilli 7/10 Fay's Edible FruitsUpdate: 529 days 4hrs Comments: - My Rocoto Tree fruited. See the green chillies in the picture. But it fruited too late & I did not get a chance to use them. It has lost its leaves now and I am worried about the frost. I have it in the carport, but will have to put something around it. 2010 - The frost got it last winter, so sad.
