Re: Anyone planting fruit trees? :) 15May 25, 2009 6:02 pm I moved through a lot of houses in years past in Sydney and Brisbane and was always struck by how many times the yard contained a lemon tree. Sometimes there was virtually nothing else - but always a lemon. Being the ignorant fellow I am I mentioned this to an older and wiser person who went into a very vigorous rant about the many and varied uses of lemons. My experience had, until then, been confined to add some bite to cocktails Come summer time where I live there's a big trade in fruit. We swap buckets of plums and apricots for all sorts of other fruits and vegetables. And of course we have truly pure jam and preserves all year. It all sounds terribly homely and domestic, but the quality and taste of home-grown fruit really is superior. It can stay on the tree longer, so gets sweeter & juicier, and is never last year's cold storage. It's wonderful to be able to wander about the yard snacking It's just a shame that one of my kids absolutely refuses to eat *any* fruit at all ! Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves. - Dale Carnegie Re: Anyone planting fruit trees? :) 16May 25, 2009 7:46 pm and what is best still is the people who hope to turn Tassie back into a fruit growing capital of Australia The Apple isle once again Tassie food is fantastic I am always amazed at the quality of what the SW of WA grows.
