About My Edible Backyard

Why Lionfish Love's Edible Plants

I have a small block, but I try and grow only edibles. I've dug every tree except for four - and put in fruit trees. We all have a role to play in being self-sufficient at home.%uFFFD The block was concrete when I started. Now, I have over 60 fruit trees and more than 20 fruiting canes. It has taken ages to get the soil into good condition after 60 years underneath concrete. But I'm starting to see earth worm activity, so my work is finally paying off.
