13/02/11 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Lionfish Love's Edible Plants I have a small block, but I try and grow only edibles. I've dug every tree except for four - and put in fruit trees. We all have a role to play in being self-sufficient at home.%uFFFD The block was concrete when I started. Now, I have over 60 fruit trees and more than 20 fruiting canes. It has taken ages to get the soil into good condition after 60 years underneath concrete. But I'm starting to see earth worm activity, so my work is finally paying off.

They look fantastic. Great way to grow them. Just don't let them dry out!..4609 days 11hrs Peppino - Lovely idea ephiphany. I've made pepino sorbet before, rather than a cream-based sweet.

Sort of grape fruity, sort of tingly on the tongue, sort of acidic and maybe a hint of tannins. Its a delightful flavour and very sophisticated. I adore it.

I've got two arabica growing well...4630 days 7hrs |
tamarillo 10/10 Lionfish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4859 days 12hrs Comments: - Amazing fruit and very tasty. if left long enough on the tree they get very sweet. Expect 3-4 kgs of fruit off each tree as they mature. Cuttings are also very easy. Just cut 'n plant.
