What we grow
-
Finger Lime
Read about itCitrus caviar. Beads that pop rather than run. Our best planting, and our first crop.
-
Boobialla
Read about itSold as native juniper. A piney berry that goes into gin and preserves. Growing fastest of anything here.
-
Mountain Pepper
Read about itNot pepper. A slow, spreading heat. Four rows under a roof, after we lost more than half the first planting.
A hard place to grow anything.
We're planting native Australian fruit on a twenty-acre block in central Victoria — a site with 511 mm of rain a year, 49 frost nights and a record high of 46.2°C. About a quarter of it is in the ground. We're working out the rest as we go, and writing down what happens.
