About My Edible Backyard


Why StaceysGarden Love's Edible Plants

 Growing food is a survival skill i'll be able to use during a zombie apocalypse! Haha!

No, really, I am a total plant nerd/hoarder, I absolutely love growing things. I also love eating, so combining the two just makes sense really. There is such satisfaction from saying "i grew that" and it can really impress people. I also love the rare and unusual, i love having people over and showing them plants and saying "you know, this is where blah comes from" and they are like "oh wow! i never knew that.

Plants are awesome.

Senorita banana leaf growth problem - I'd highly recommend you take some samples to your local plant pathologist. Check your state govs primary industries website for locations.

Vanilla flower shoot or root - Hi Everyone, I had my Vanilla planifolia growing up a dead livistonia palm trunk but it was out growing it, I recently moved it over to what I affectionately call a 'coconut husk kebab' during the move I noticed that all 3 vines had severed their terr..2665 days 6hrs

Gem avocado daughter of gwen - You could try and get your hands on some suitable rootstock seed then grow the rootstock seedling yourself. Grafting is a lot more successful when the rootstock is still nice and young and green and hasn't developed too much of the brown bark. Well, that'..3041 days 10hrs

Ice Cream Bean Mountain (Seedling) 7/10

StaceysGarden's Edible Fruits
Update: 3042 days 9hrs

Comments: -

I am dying to try this fruit, I had a small sapling but I realised I would never ba able to get fruit off it in a pot  so I gave it away to a local mango farm that also runs a cafe/ice cream shop as a tourist attraction. I thought it might be interesting for them to show their visitors.

Apparently they are like crack to the termites up here though, so I warned the new owners about that issue.

Dwarf Mango - Irwin (Grafted) 7/10

StaceysGarden's Edible Fruits
Update: 3042 days 9hrs

Comments: - Grafted this one myself after learning the skill for my PhD. Growing like a weed, getting a new vegetative flush pretty much every fortnight. Am going to let it get a bit taller then decapitate to force lateral buds to keep the height down. Growing in a 100L pot because I rent. Come the dry season I'm going to have a crack at inducing flowering using foliar Potassium nitrate.

Height 3 metres

Growing: In a Pot

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Water Given in: Spring

Pollination: No

Question: Will I get fruit if it is in a 100L pot?

Lemonade Tree (Grafted) 7/10

StaceysGarden's Edible Fruits
Update: 3042 days 9hrs

Comments: - I was really excited to grow this fruit after reports on how delicious the fruit are, but then after buying and planting I bought a lemonade fruit from the markets and was severely disappointed, I'm clinging to hope that I was sold an mislabelled product and my lemonades will be as delicious as everyone claims. The tree is very vigorous. Same ant/mealybug problem as the lime and lemon.

Comments: - Have recently discovered the cocktail lynchberg lemonade. So I can't wait to be using my own lemons to make them! The tree is so vigorous despite a constant battle with ants farming mealybug! I'm going to let it get a bit bigger then stress it into flowering!
