About My Edible Backyard

Why Kowe76 Love's Edible Plants

I love edible plants because of the satisfaction it gives you. The feeling that you have grown something and then been able to eat that. It is a fantastic feeling.

Very true the delayed gratification of growing your own is a sweet taste :) If you have any other fruit trees that you wanted to add that would be great.

Dwarf Peach (Grafted)

I enjoy this dwarf peach tree because it can be grown in a pot. I rent, so can't put anything in the ground. A compact plant is important to me. What is more important is self sufficiency. Though the plant won't feed a family. It makes me proud every year it produces fruit. It is one less peach I buy from the supermarket.

This is the first year I have had a very productive crop. I have taken the time this year and fertilised abd maintained it, now I am receiving the reward for my hard work - a lot of fruit. Have to cover them at night though, as I have possums living near by.
