Mullberries are ready for picking!!!
So I've planted a mini food forest to go with the existing fruit trees.
I bought some plants, moved with some, and others are cuttings from public places and other people's gardens
So far I've got:
- lemon tree
- fig tree
- blueberries (trying for the first time since I failed dismally back in 2012)
- raspberries
- tayberries
- strawberries
- oregano
- thymes
- sage
- chives
- garlic chives
- rosemary
- artichokes (trying one in the shade - we'll see)
- lemon balm
- Vietnamese mint (trialling in shade to see if it keeps the lemon balm and mint's growth down)
I'm thinking of adding passionfruit, if I can find one that likes partial shade. I haven't planted perennial greens, because they tend to be high in oxalates, and vegans and oxalates aren't a great mix (we don't tend eat enough calcium in the same meal to bind it up).
I haven't got a root later yet.
And some more fruit trees, but I have to call the council first as there's a sewer pipe running along the fence and I'm not sure if fruit trees will cause havoc.
If you have a favourite fruit or not tree, or other perennial veg growing in Melbourne, let me know!
3/3
Edited to add forgotten plants.

Hi all, I've just setup my own #GoToSocial instance, so it's time for an updated #introduction
I'm very much into #yoga and #meditation and everything related to that. I'm trying to learn #Sanskrit because its a beautiful language and also in order to be able to read text like the #BhagavadGita #Upanishads #YogaSutras which greatly inspire me.
I'm from the #Netherlands and work in #science in the field of outdoor #AirQuality I may occasionally share something about that, but this is not a work account (and any opinions are my own).
I love #photography , mostly related to #nature #weather #clouds #trees
I love the #forest, I'm grateful to live at the edge of the beautiful #Veluwe nature area.
I love growing food in my #garden using #organic #permaculture and #RegenerativeAgriculture inspired methods, I'm dreaming of tending my own #FoodForest some day.
Unfortunately I'm operating at half power thanks to #LongCovid since Feb. '22, so most of my hobbies are in "maintenance mode".
I'll post in English, my Dutch account is @kedara_nl
I also have a personal website @ https://kedara.eu where I #blog, tend a #DigitalGarden / #wiki and try to contribute to the #Indieweb #smallweb communities.
I've done my fair share of instance hopping and had hoped to solve that by starting my own Akkoma instance, but found GoToSocial more suitable to my needs in the end. I hope to stay here now indefinitely.
Let me know if you have similar interests and I'll be happy to chat!

Baerlauch!
#Bärlauch, that's how germans call #bearGarlic.
@bitpickup went nearly nuts when he discovered that plant and it's taste in the woods of Frau Holle, near #Witzenhausen when he was at @unikassel, taking some lessons on international and ecological agriculture.
He harvest straight away a ton of it, threw it into the bath tub to wash it, filled up many bags and prepped them away into the freezer.
Great plant, great taste, great plant for a #permaculture #foodForest!

Op Zondag 25 mei organiseren mijn partners in crime van de Voedselboskabouters (nog niet in de Fediverse helaas) een open dag in Den Bosch.

Boosten als je volgers in de buurt hebt wordt gewaardeerd!
