11/07/24 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Frenchie Love's Edible Plants Just bought a new house, with uninteresting garden, full of agaves, camelias and rhodos. Have not moved in yet, but lusting over this website and planning an edible garden, with a few natives for the birds. Biggest challenge is the size of the yard (745m2) and exposition. The back fence and front of the house are west facing. Protected from the southerly wind and to a degree from the westerlies as there is a nature srip behind the front neighbours with tall trees. Soil type is red Norhtern NSW plateau soil. The garden is sloping to the north and well drained. Annual rainfall average is 1200mm. The reward will be the fruits of our labour, eating species and varieties not found in supermarkets and even markets, the joy for my children to pick food from their garden.

Wine grapes are also quite edible, but berries can be smaller + seedier than table grapes. Maybe work out what month the other successful NNSW..Liked Answer 3072 days 7hrs Grapes with muscat flavour - Pink Iona came to mind when I read, it definitely has an interesting musky flavor. Don't worry about Daley's fair flavor comment, if you are not afraid of intense flavor it is good. Its just the blue cheese rather than the cheddar slices individually wrap..Liked Answer 3347 days 11hrs Grapes with muscat flavour - Another excellent Blk and Golden muscat season shaping up.
