About My Edible Backyard

My fruit trees are all growing in pots. I keep them well watered and fed.

The soil here is clay and there are big Camphor Laurel trees at the back which sap all the nutrients out of the ground, the roots go everywhere. I have bad hands and can't dig the soil/clay anyway.

Picked 7 big green caterpillars off my Basil MInt yesterday.
