About My Edible Backyard

Typical suburban backyard with tiny house - 3 yards to work with. Overgrown with large trees atm which we're trying to get rid of, 3 enormous eucalypts and 2 acacias of some sort, plus a giant lillypilly which i'm keeping.

once the oversize trees are gone, fruit trees are going in!

Papaya - Red RB4 Hybrid

My best darling pawpaw, its up past my knees now and getting some fine big leaves the size of  my hand - still little but doing great for this area. I will be interested to see how it does here, we get at least 5 months of warm weather but we do get a frost every now and then. i hope that it will be big enough before winter to cope.

This taro plant i've put in a bucket of compost half filled with water. it is growing a new leaf every week, and getting some more little buds. I'm trying to find a bigger bucket for it.

Repotted since purchasing, it has grown quite quickly, two new branches and about  6 inches of growth. will pot again, the soil in my yard is clay and rubble. Also worried about the odd frost we get here in Campbelltown, maybe once a year.
