03/06/12 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Nqgrower1 Love's Edible Plants What's not to love! The biggest challange for me is I know nothing about gardening and so I am learning as I go. The biggest reward is the excitement of finding fruit on the trees, and my plants still alive :) Soil type is a mixture, and I have tried to pick plants that are tropical and hardy because we have long dry winters and hot wet tropical summers. I only started planting this year and so am hoping my plants will survive through their first wet season over christmas! Comments* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

Pomegranate - Wonderful 8/10 Nqgrower1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4604 days 19hrs Comments: - The flowers are so vivid and beautiful - fruit will be a bonus! Bought from Bunnings so I am not sure on the variety, we have had flowers twice so far but no fruit. In a massive pot - this is our second attempt with the pommegranate - our first plant was in the pot and did not drain properly - with our wet season there was two inches of water in the top of the pot for about a week and the plant died. We now have made sure the drainage is better (more holes in the pot and a small layer of gravel) and the new tree is thriving Planted: 2011 Height 80 Centimetres Growing: In a Pot Qty: 1 Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Spring Pollination: Self Pollination Question:

Orange Berry 4/10 Nqgrower1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4604 days 20hrs Comments: - The idea of sweet honey like fruit sounded great. I have had berries now and have to say they tasted a bit unpleasant and like medicine :) Could be just me though. No sure if I will keep these because there is very little fruit to seed ratio.
