We live by the sea and our block is very low so when it rains we have water sitting everywhere. It has already killed a double grafted plum tree. I get so much satisfaction from my vegie garden. It takes a lot of work but working in my garden is relaxing, gets rid of stress and also I love the enjoyment of eating my own produce. Our soil is sandy so I have built my vegie garden up and added heaps of manure and compost to my fruit trees. My garden is only about 18 months old but I already have 3 olive trees, 2 oranges, 2 apples, 1 lemon, 2 apples, 1 fig, 2 kumquats and 2 espaliered pear trees. Not much room for more.

My orange tree is only one year old and I have only had one orange from it but the taste was beautiful. I dont know if its my imagination or not but home grown fruit and vegetables taste soooooooooooo much better. I am hoping for a few more oranges this year. I have two kumquats in pots doing well and I make spoon sweets (Greek), marmalade and liqueure from them. When my son was about four he used to love popping a kumquat into his little sisters mouths and watching their faces. I also have a fig tree, also one year old, and I had about six yummy figs. Also good for jam and desserts or just to eat fresh.
