Progress

The prodigal returns....

I have been really busy in my garden and I am about to fill you in on what I have growing since the last post.

Um.......edible plants, that is........

Here we go:

pepper (white/pink/black);

Paw paw (lots);

Lemon tree (10years old and a housewarming present);

dwarf lime;

dwarf orange (Washington navel); 

dwarf avocado;

dwarf blueberry (this is the folly one!);

basil, (lemon, thai, purple and common);

pineapple (lots, with about 4 just starting to fruit);

Louffa (also known as Italian luffa);

cherry tomatoes (self sown and lots of them);

lemon balm;

shallots;

coriander;

galangal;

ginger;

tumeric;

sweet potato;

eggplant;

beetroot (for the leaves mainly);

broccoli (also for the leaves);

thyme;

oregano;

passionfruit (leaves for the leaf eaters and then they leave my other plants alone);

garlic chives;

spinach (2 varieties which perform well in the tropics);

chilli;

jasmine (the flowers are those used in tea);

pumpkin (risen from the compost soil I spread around);

mustard, osaka purple (which have a bit of heat in them when they are raw);

peppermint;

spearmint;

lettuce (about 3 different varieties of what some people call 'fancy lettuce');

marigold (calendula officianalis, the edible one for its leaves and flowers);

nasturtium (leaves and flowers also edible);

torch ginger (edible-these I have transplanted from where they were crowded out by mondo grasses and stopped flowering. The build up/wet will be the time for me to find out if they like their new home. They are an understory plant so need some protection from direct sun. I have planted them under the terminalia tree.)

Not sure if I have listed everything so I will add more as I go along........
