About My Edible Backyard

Why Vickib Love's Edible Plants

My garden is much smaller than I would like, but that cant be helped. Most of the trees are quite young, as the (very) old trees which were here when we bought the house have now all gone, which is a pity. Very hot and dry summers, mild damp winters. The back yard is to the west of the property, facing East. The biggest challenge is keeping water up to the plants, and these days having to shade young ones in summer.

Other than that, possums are the biggest problem. Over the years, they have killed the best apricot tree in the world, two other apricots, and two varieties of apple, all of which had been fruiting fantastically for years, until possum numbers increased. The best preventative I have found so far is a large plastic owl hung from one of the dead apple trees on fishing wire so that it swings around. However, the possums eventually got used to that too.

Free fruit trees in public places - I like the idea in theory, but dont think it will work in the long run. It is 40 degrees C here today, and I have been flat out this week keeping my own trees and veg alive. Our government is allowing thousands of mature street trees to die due to water..6047 days 4hrs
