all mine is planted :) being in the tropics you have to plant early or it will all get burned :(

I have Zucchini, Rosellas, Grapes, Cucumbers, PawPaws (2 types), Bananas, Tomatoes (4 types), capsicums, and sweet potatoes, silverbeet, and heaps and heaps of herbs.

The grapes are going to be terrific this year if I can keep the birds away from them...best crop yet for me.

***edit*** I forgot about the Meyer Lemon tree...it isnt 8 months old and Ive already had 1 ripe lemon off it....There are about a dozen small ones coming on and the flowers are there by the hundred....no kidding....some of them have set and if they all stay on Im going to have to support the branches...the tree itself is only about 6 foot tall.

You might want to cut off some of the flowers in order for the tree to stay symettrical and allow the fruit which remains to grow to fruition

☼ajtgirl☼: yes i think you could be right, :(..a pity as the fruit is all starting to set..apart from the ones (about a dozen) that are well and truly growing.

Anybody want tomato plants ROFL...I buried dozens of tomatoes that had gone soft about 6-8 weeks ago....3 different kinds of them and now I have more tomato plants than I need ROFL.......I already have plenty of fruit ripening, and dont really need any more plants LOLOL
