That's real early, where are you.
Too cold out here in Yarra Valley.

where are you.
Mt Waverley here @kiwiman.
Just a fluke maybe. -

Oh man you guys seem to be at least a month ahead of my garden.
I'm a way off any fruit on my tomatoes and my passionfruit still hasn't woken up
How early did you guys put your tomatoes in the ground? -

Had mine in small pots on a concrete block until about 2 weeks ago @Kookabanus.
I seem to remember getting early fruiting a few years ago also. -
I better take some photos. Our garden is well on the way, the passionfruit has been flowering for months we have quite a number of fruit growing on there at the moment. But have been working the last few weeks/months on getting all our fruit trees on the ground. I'll get some photos of that soon. The tomato left in the ground from winter has also started to fruit as well.

At least you have a lemon on it which is more than i can say currently!
You tried giving it some citrus feed to try and give it a growth spurt?

Seems like its a "mini-me" tree in that case. Enjoy its wee fruits

King white mulberries
WOW! Didn't know such a thing existed.

King white mulberries.
Wishes my mulberries produced that well.
-
We've been stuffing our face with standard black mulberries. Can't keep up with the tree, they are littering the ground. Tree grows way to quickly too, cut it back twice a year and it still regularly takes over the path.

The King white mulberries have the advantage of not staining and not attracting birds (so the whole crop is mine mine mine!)
-
Yes the staining is a real problem :0

We have a couple of lemons growing on the lemon tree, the herb garden is going well (although my rosemary just died) and the one surviving chili plant from last season has woken from its lumber and has some green shoots coming off it. Also we randomly have some potatoes growing in the vege patch because instead of throwing some old spuds out my wife decided to bury them...
Need to get some more plants in the ground, we've been a bit slack after winter, although I'm also in the process of levelling out the yard and putting down some buffalo so might end up leaving it for a bit.
Some friends also bought us a passionfruit tree. It's only small and I'm not 100% certain on where to put it yet... Was thinking of transferring to a big pot and then setting up some stuff for it to crawl along on the back fence.
-
We have a 1 year old passionfruit tree, they really don't take long to grow. It already covers about 6 metres of fence. They also have a quite a wide spread root system, so if you are going to put in a pot to grow on the fence it will need to be a massive pot. We just have ours in the ground along the colourbond fence, with some trellis hanging from the fence on hanging plant hooks.
-
yeah, seen some photos of them in large pots in the middle of the fence and spreading out and though it looked good. We could potentially put it in the ground as well but not 100% sure.
