You could simply walk along that coconut tree and pick them
Hi Oskar!
Sorry I cant answer your question scientifically as an agriculturist could but I would like to share some observations.
Our soursop tree would develop fruit buds during colder months (december) that would be around 23°C
When I planted mine, it was easy to grow just like a regular plant or tree. It took me around 4 years to grow. Since you are in subtropics and plants tend to have slow development during frost or winter. I think it would be a little longer to have fruits.
Yes, if you picked them at the stage where they are almost ripe, you get the same taste as a sweet lemonade but if you pick them ripe and almost ready to fall, they are alot sweeter than usual.
A good fruit can be as much as 1kg. Otherwise smaller fruits or average fruits would be around half a kilo.
Also they got stronger flavor if you eat them as a fruit. adding shaved ice or making them as soursop shake ( i dont know how to describe it in proper words. it is just like milkshake but soursop instead of milk) they would be more enjoyable to eat/ drink.
This is a file photo since its dark here. It is almost 1 foot long and 5 inches wide.
Ahh, so that's eggplant? I had to Google itBrinjal (Yet to Fruit)
Definitely! But, such a great plant to grow.Chilly (easiest to grow plant in my opinion)
I haven't grown this before but I see it's a common herb in Indian cooking and highly rated for its medicinal qualities what does it taste like and is it easy to grow?Fenugreek

What you can't see Stevo is the VERY sad capsicum trying to grow in the brassica patch...companion planting says that's a bad idea...thought I'd test that out...they're right! That capsicum has pretty much died, while the one with the zucchinis is ok. And don't feel too bad about your veggie patch, your photo wall is no doubt much more interesting than mine!wow ... everything looks very healthy...
my vegie garden is looking pretty sad at the moment, I better do some work on it
Have you set aside the 4 acres for permaculture purposes @Rhonda such as beneficial insects and animals or are you planning to use more when you get the chance to develop?We are on 5 acres we only use just over 1 the rest is for the wildlings.
I am starting a Permicculture corner this weekend coming for the purpose of inviting beneficial insects and creatures to be happy and safe. My main vege area is fenced measures 14 square meteres e have lots of potted vege ectHave you set aside the 4 acres for permaculture purposes @Rhonda such as beneficial insects and animals or are you planning to use more when you get the chance to develop?
