03/03/13 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Magsgaz1 Love's Edible Plants We started creating our edible backyard in 2009 with the aim of being self sufficient in fruit, vege and eggs, just 10 minutes from the city (Brisbane). A year later we're almost there, just needing some more fruit production, which is just a matter of time. We have 9 chooks in an area of 14m x 6m, they share this space with some of the fruit trees, namely 1 orange, the grapefruit and lime, some pawpaws, the 2 mulberry and the custard apple. The trees have wire netting around to prevent them from being excavated. We are members of the Brisbane Organic Growers Inc. (BOGI) who meet at Albion (Peace Hall) on the 1st Thurs. of each month.

Raspberry - HeritageMagsgaz1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4084 days 20hrs Comments: - They are in a bed surrounded by concrete, so they can't escape. I have added another variety called Autumn Bliss. Raspberries fruit on canes produced the previous season, which look exhausted when they have finished fruiting. Prune at ground level and tie in fresh, vigorous new canes, which will flower and fruit the following season. Remove dead or weak shoots anytime. Fruiting Months February and March Planted: 2009 Height 1.5 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 3 Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Pollination: Cross Pollination Pest Control: we use netting for fruit fly.

Jaboticaba - small leafMagsgaz1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4084 days 20hrs Comments: - Full sun to part shade. Frost tolerant to -3C when established but protect from frost when young. Water well to encourage maximum crop yield. Do not over fertilise, although a small amount of slow release/organic fertiliser or organic matter such as compost mulch is fine. Prefers acid soils.
