Garden Bounty

I'm a big believer in growing at least some of one's own food. We are lucky enough that the place we are living has a number of mature fruit trees and over the last couple of years we have planted various other plants around the garden.  Last week I took a look a wander through the garden and counted up the number of different edible types of plants in our garden and I came up with twenty!

Our garden is all fairly haphazard and experimental but one of the things I plan to do in the next few years is to plant an edible forest garden and the quest is on to find a suitable plot of land to do it, so we'll see how that goes over the next few months.

• Coconut
• Lemon
• Vaoca
• Blackberry
• Carrots
• Broccoli
• Passion fruit
• Papaya
• Litchis
• Choux
• Avocado
• Banana
• Cour de Beouf (Custard Apple)
• Cherry tomato
• Citronelle
• Tomato
• Pepper
• Strawberry
• Rosemary
• Mint

At the moment we have large amounts of litchis, passion fruit and bananas ripening so we are going to be sorted for fruit for the next few months!
