Turning my backyard into a thriving edible paradise or food forest has been a very rewarding journey! What started as a bare grass paddock is now a food forest filled with fruit trees, berries, vines, and edible plants—providing fresh, organic food year-round.
In this video, I'll take you through my garden and have a look at what's been fruiting, what's ripening on the fruit trees at the moment and have a bit of a look at the veggie garden, and talk about what's been happening.
If you’re dreaming of growing your own food, whether it’s in a backyard, homestead, or urban garden, I hope this inspires you! 🌱🍊🍏🍉
