How many fruit (or other food producing plants) do u have in ur yard?

Question

We have a coconut palm, a passionfruit vine, a mango tree, a pawpaw (papaya) tree, a black mulberry tree, a kumquat tree, an orange tree and of course vegetables in the garden (broccoli, rhubarb, strawberries, tomatoes, green beans and aloe vera). Hehe, I'd be really interested to find out what you all have!

Yes, we live in a tropical area!

Yeah, Amy 911, we're in severe drought too... Queensland Australia.

Answer 1

Oh you remind me of my mum! (That's a good thing.)

When I was growing up in Queensland, in the heart of Brisbane, we had macadamia trees; passionfruit vines; two paw paw trees (because you need one of each sex to get the fruit); strawberries in a line along the fence; mulberry trees with the deep red fruit to eat and the green berries to get the red off your hands (and leaves to feed the silkworms); a custard apple bush; 2 banana trees; an aloe vera plant that was essential in the summer months for sun burn; lettuce and cherry tomatoes; parsley and mint that flavoured the Sunday Roast; and a mango tree that I'd climb up into and grab the fruit from the tree as I shared my girlfriends' latest secrets.

Carrots, beans, pumpkin and turnips were all in the backyard and often the quality was pretty bad but we'd pick out the best.

We also had the biggest Jaccaranda tree with those dangly boomerang shaped things in non-flowering months that we used to throw at each other. And the bush with red tulip shaped flowers that we used to suck the honey from, was a source of entertainment as we waited for our next turn at whatever game we were playing in the front yard.
Thanks for allowing me to ramble on and remember my childhood.

Answer 4

This is at least the fourth complaint I have seen that healthy plants are blooming but not producing fruit! Beefsteak plants don't put on tomatoes till late in the season, big boys should be puttin on green ones by now,unless you planted them late. When they sit for a month in a greenhouse or garden store, they are waiting for sufficient food, light and TLC. Don't give up on them yet, they may be just late bloomers.
