About My Edible Backyard


Why Lorna Love's Edible Plants

Passionate food grower. Shallow sandy soil over ironstone rock. Wet in winter, dries out quick in summer. Have frosts that kill some more tropical things but not enough to stimulate some european things to flower. Have over 100 friut trees and about half an acre of vegetables for own and our animals consumption. Biggest challenge is time (work full time) and keeping upto date with jobs to do. Rewards of surplus food and a great diet. All contributes to a healthy life.

Grow on trellis. Let current seasons new growth trail on the ground. Come July (winter), cut old growth off the trellis and replace with the new canes. Fruits on the previous seasons growth. Produces MASSES of fruit over about six weeks. Excellent for freezing or jam making, even better eaten fresh.

Keriberry (Cutting) 7/10

Lorna's Edible Fruits
Update: 5347 days 8hrs

Comments: -

Similar in taste to Boysenberries. Holds its fruit in clusters at the end of its canes. Fruits in winter when other fruit is scarce. Does not produce large volumes of fruit together like the Boysenberry does, but produces smaller volumes over a prolonged period. Grow on a trellis to keep off the ground. Said to be native, but other information suggests it was imported a lot of years ago. Worth a go.

citron melon (Seedling) 10/10

Lorna's Edible Fruits
Update: 5352 days 8hrs

Comments: -

Fantastic drought tolerant plant that can produce HUGE melons with no watering. These can be made into great jam with the addition of things like pineapple, apricots or whatever fruit you don't have enough of to make a full batch. Being a fairly neutral flavour it will mix in well with most fruit. They contain good quantities of pectin that help jam set. Great food for animals like goats, especially through Summer when green feed is scarce.

Yacon - Apple of the Earth (Cutting) 10/10

Lorna's Edible Fruits
Update: 5356 days 19hrs

Comments: -

Zero maitenance other than harvesting or thinning out every so often. Tops really good animal fodder or mulch (high protein). Two types of roots. One type sweet potato shaped but texture of water chestnut. Peel before eating as skin is bitter. Contains a sugar called inulin which humans do not make an enzyme to digest, so said to be good for diabetics. Second root type like purple jerusalem artichokes for vegetative propagation. Related to sunflowers. Highly reccommended..

choko (Seedling) 10/10

Lorna's Edible Fruits
Update: 5356 days 19hrs

Comments: -

White choko. More of an off white, with a few spines on the fruit. Produces masses of green bean flavoured shoots suitable for stir fries. The fruit can be picked young and not peeled, or picked older they require peeling. Seems to be daylight sensitive; will not start to flower until the longest day is past. Produces masses of fruit that chooks and goats also enjoy..

Strawberry Spinach (Seedling) 10/10

Lorna's Edible Fruits
Update: 5356 days 19hrs

Comments: -

Chenapodium Capitatum. This rare and unusual plant provides triangular spinach leaves of good quality, and also produces tresses of bright red berries in abundance. Very ornamental when covered in fruit. The only fruit other than strawberries, that carries its seed on the outside of its fruit. Fruit could be more tasty, but a lot better than nothing.

Prune - Robe de Sargent (Grafted) 10/10

Lorna's Edible Fruits
Update: 5356 days 20hrs

Comments: -

I think that this is Robe de Sargent. Came in a dry bag of sawdust, rescued from a nursery that was closing down. Small tree that gives me bucket loads of the best fruit every. Like eating lollies. Really puts ordinary plums in the shade as far as flavour goes. The skin is quite thick, but I don't mind that. Anyone who says that they don't like prunes, should try these as a fresh fruit.

Hope spelling is correct! Australian native groundcover. Very attractive plant for even an ornamental garden. Gets covered in a mass of small white flowers, followed by delightful white berries covered in fine purple freckles. Berries fall into the hand when ripe and taste sweet and spicey. Produces large amounts of fruit over a long period.

The ONLY perenial zucchini in the world. Does not get mildew at all, fruits for about nine months of the year, and requires no maintenance other than a good hair cut now and then. Pick fruit when about the size of an emu egg. Sweeter than a normal zucchini. I feed them to my goats when they are about the size of a football. They love them. The seeds are like zucchini seeds but black. Cucurbita ficifolia.

Do they taste OK (do you feed them yo goats because they are not that nice?). Thanks, Diana.

Or are they just very prolific? You sound very positive about this interesting plant. The lack of mildew is a very attractive feature. You have some amazing things in your garden- the stone pine looks great.

Palm - Jelly or Wine Palm (Seedling) 10/10

Lorna's Edible Fruits
Update: 5357 days 8hrs

Comments: -

No maintenance required. Does its own thing and fruits very well. Easy to bag the fruit to stop birds. Each spray of fruit is like a separate branch of the tree. Put a big chaff bag over it and when ripe the fruit fall off into the neck of the bag for easy collection. Masses of fruit over a prolonged period. Each spray of fruit (usually four to six every year) ripen at a slightly different time, prolonging the period of time when fruit is available. Ripens in winter when every other fruit tree is on holiday. Useful out of season fresh fruit.
