So we have been living here for almost 2 years now, and I've always wanted to grow my own veges. So when we moved in I slowly started getting more and more and adding to the garden. At the moment we have a 2metre tall tomato/tamarillo tree that is about to start its first crop (only 6 on there) but it has taken a good year and a half to get to where it is. I planted carrots about 6 months ago and now they are wonderful, I dig them up as I need them and we always have plenty.
But the best plant we have at the moment would have to be our capsicum. It has been producing about 3 a week for pretty much all of this year(not counting the ones eaten by bugs) So I no longer need to buy them or the carrots.
Other trees we are trying to establish are: Orange tree (which has not seemed to grow for quite some time now but its still alive), Lemon tree, strawberry guava, Strawberries, Gooseberrys, Kiwi, passionfruit, nectarine, chilli's, onions and plenty of herbs (which are all fabulous and well established now) Most of the trees have been planted for at least a year, we are just waiting for them to grow. The Kiwi tree was one plant that was here when we moved in and still has not had fruit (there is def a male & female!) We think next year we will see fruit from it.
I'd like to know what other veges/fruit other bb members grow that seems to produce alot of produce and is a worth while plant? Plus any tips to help them produce fruit/veges a little faster?
I'd deffinantly reccomend everyone had a capsicum (if they like them) as they are so hardy and produce well!
