If you're a serious icecream eater then you know the best vanilla icecream is made with vanilla beans. However, they cost around $5 for a single bean, so I'm having a go at growing my own. My first plant was in the wrong position and was dug up by my dogs so it died but the second one is in a shadier spot and doing much better.

I think its wonderful to be able to grow peaches, nectarines and plums in a suburban backyard off the single tree. (only the peaches and nectarines ever grew) An added bonus is the beautiful floral display at the end of winter when everything is looking a bit drab.  Last year was the first year I had significant fruit on it as its still quite small (approx 120 cm tall now) but this year it looks like it will even be more productive!!.  Had a problem with possums (or dog??) last year who attacked the bottom graft with the nectarines on it so I didn't get to taste those, but the peaches were delicious!  Am planning to cover the tree this year as the fruit ripens so hopefully will keep out all the critters who want a share of my harvest. I should take better care of it. Seriously, I don't water it at all unless we haven't had rain for a month and it still keeps growing.  The only pruning I do is to keep the grafts in check.  These photos are about 1/3 of my 2014 crop, grown on a single tree, grafted with a peach and nectarine.

They recommend to spray tree with lime sulfer in winter to prevent leaf curl disease (which I forgot to do this year) Fingers crossed it will be fine.

Produces heaps several times yearly. Tastes a bit like fruit salad. Only drawbacks I found are the need to hand pollinate and the trellising needs to be heavy duty.

What is this?

It was my first post and it was of a Granadilla (Passiflora quadrangularis) I failed to post the pic properly and now don't know how to correct the error.

Banana, Blue Java ^9/10

Comments: - De-sucker regularly. Keep up the water while fruiting. Low maintenance. Leaves susceptible to wind damage. Need a prop to keep the plant from falling when bananas are almost ready to harvest.

ceylon spinach (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

It grows really vigorously throughout the tropical summer. It grows from seeds, or cutting. When you cut a stalk to harvest, you can replant after removing the leaves and it will continue growing. As a food plant, it is very versatile - can be eaten raw or cooked.

We've never had pests on our ceylon spinach, even when we have caterpillars on other plants in the garden.

Ceylon spinach. (Seedling) ^1/10

Comments: -

It is so easy to grow. A very vigorous and hardy vine. I started from seeds that were sown directly into the warm soil. We eat the tender shoots and leaves cooked in all sorts of dishes and raw in salads or on sandwiches.

I was first introduced to this plant when my children were little & we lived in Tonga. I took cuttings from a friends vine while in Fiji & when I got back to my own little garden in Tonga I simlpy stuck the cuttings into the soil. At that time I didnt know what the vine was really called. We just called it climbing spinach. When I came to Australia to live I wanted to plant some more but couldnt find it anywhere. I then knew that it had to have another name. So many years later when I was introduced to the internet I started my search all over again. I googled under all different headings to no avail. I then decided I would ask some nurserys to send me catalogues in the hope that I would spot a picture of my coverted vine.

It was in a Green Harvest Organic gardening resource guide that I thought I saw what looked like my vine. I cant tell you how thrilled I was to finally track down these seeds. My first purchase was for 5 packets, just in case something went wrong with my first lot of seedlings. True to form, with this extremly hardy vine, every single seed sprung to life!

I have since harvested my own seeds from the little red berries that come out in winter. I dried the seeds/berries out & have shared them with anyone that loves to grow their own vegies. I have also taken cuttings off my vines & shared them with friends as well. I have sent my harvested seeds to family & friends in other states of Australia trying hard to convert them into home vegie growers as this is the ideal plant to start with as very little care & attention is needed once it has taken off.

I know that Daley's deals in fruit & nut trees etc. and I have fruit and nut trees in abundance along with my vegies, but this wonderful vine is truely my all time favourite, so to make a story up about any other plant in my garden just wouldnt be true to me.
