This year I had success with tomatoes, potatoes, maori spuds, pumpkin, spinach, silverbeet, corn, beans, peas, cape gooseberry, celery, parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon-balm, lettuces, rhubarb, yams, mushrooms, chillis. Less successful were passionfruit, apples, tamarillo, fig, strawberries, lemons, capsicum - and blackberry ! (thought it impossible to fail with that). Basically, much less luck with fruits, despite all that sunshine and calm ??? Have young up-and-coming fruit trees in pots: plum, feijoa, apple, elder. Have mint, watercress and 'mouse-ear' mushrooms growing wild on the property, plus all the usual medicinal herbs - comfrey, chickweed, cleavers, calendula, plantain, dandelion, etc. I'm a qualified herbalist, especially interested in treating animals. Produce colloidal silver in bulk quantities, which am happy to swap. I have a large glasshouse 'in development' and a tunnel house also waiting to go up - this winter's projects ! I also have a lovely 1940s workingman's hut / bush cabin for rent, for anyone who is looking for the lifestyle.
