Oooh us this year. Funny you put this up BG, I was only thinking a few days ago that I should dig it (the thread) up.
We have a lemonade tree, a nectarine and a passion fruit in half wine barrels. We have a raised garden bed with carrots, pumpkin vines (will be moving these out into the garden), cucumbers, tomatoes and blueberries. We also have various herbs and several strawberries. Two are in hanging baskets and one underneath the passion fruit vine. It survived being destroyed by the chooks and has grown back from nothing.
Our seasons and soil are fairly extreme here in the desert so it's easier to manage stuff in pots. DS is so proud of our raised vege bed. We planted and raised the seeds ourselves. No mean feat for a little boy who loves to dig.
Our chooks are now contained in their fortress to stop them decimating everything. When the tomatoes get a bit bigger I will get some marigolds and am going to look into other companions. We are lucky enough to have very few pests and diseases here (cos nothing can survive lol). We don't have a whole lot of viable space but am keen to get as much as we can going. Fruit and veg are tediously expensive here so I will start with the stuff the kids eat the most of and go from there.
