About My Edible Backyard

Why Potty Bob 1 Love's Edible Plants

 I have a large suburban block in Pottsville nsw , local soil is repurposed sand pumped in to about 1 to 1.5m deep sand then a heavy black silt bed , good for vey little .been here 10 years now , started getting very serious with the garden about 6 years ago . I have dug deep wide holes for my citrus trees , but survive mostly on raised beds and pots , and a lot of bath tubs .as of January 2019 , I have over 40 varieties of fruiting plants/trees and just over 40 edible natives plus a number of perennial veggies like artichokes and sweet potato , water chestnuts etc. , I am in the process of planting out the front yard with my bush tucker garden . I still want about 40 more plants , some are hard to get and rare . But I will prevail .

Tropical apricot - Eugenia myrcianthes (Seedling) ^2/10

Potty Bob 1's Edible Fruits
Update: 1780 days 23hrs

Comments: -

Sounds nice , should get fruit 2019/20 ,lost flowers last year as I planted it from a large pot . Update 28/10/19 produced one apricot looking fruit that I had bagged till it dropped ripe . Tasted horrid , sweet with a tart tropical fruit taste ( mango/apricot ) juicy, and a strong pungent garlic flavour that is so bad that I can't believe this was sold to me as a fruit tree ,it's yuck . However I will give it another year to see if fruit improves . 

I did not buy this from Daleys.

Curry Tree ^10/10

Potty Bob 1's Edible Fruits
Update: 2063 days 23hrs

Comments: -

This tree needs to be owned with care , it will grow to a giant tree spreading seedlings from here to Darwin . Potentially an invasive weed .

After that , a must for good Indian cooking ,a delicious  herb tree with a funky smell. I pick the flowers and berries off as soon as they form to prevent spreading . Grows well in pot .

Easy to propagate , as nice as (taste like) rockmelon , maybe a little more watery in flavour , cucumber relative . Easier to grow than rockmelon and lasts a couple of years with care.

Prone to fruit fly and same as tomatoes etc , always have a spare cutting growing to keep propergating . Add to salad instead of cucumber , or add to fruit salad , versatile vegetable.
