About My Edible Backyard

 We live on a 1 acre block just out of Brisbane. I have no gardening experience at all but have become addicted since we moved here. I decided to try and create an edible landscape, mixing fruit trees, perennial vegetables and native bush tucker plants into the garden. We have a great climate, though it can get very dry for long stretches. I have a 5500 gallon rainwater tank for the garden which helps.  I read everything about gardening I can get my hands on and love hearing ideas from other people.

Hi Deb, That's great. Does your tropic sweet apple have a pollinator, or is it the only apple tree in the garden? Diana.
