front garden update

The paths are laid, the garden beds are in and mulched, and we have started to plant our trees. We have decided to take a permacultural approach: landscaping with edible plants.  A productive and beautiful garden.

So far we have planted a jaboticaba:

A bird's eye chilli:

A quince that has already shrivelled up and practically died!!

 Two tropical apples:

 A tropical peach:

 A rollinia [I'm really looking forward to the fruit from this one, it's supposed to taste like lemon meringue]:

Two chocolate pudding fruit trees:

The vege patches are next, only a few herbs so far, but I hope to have the rest up and running very soon.

You can see my rose hedge along the front of the yard in this photo - it's doing incredibly well.  I prune it back fairly regularly.  I'm planning roses between the paperbark tree and the rose hedge, and more edibles throughout the rest of the landscape.
