    Hello Happy People,

    I love growing stuff and have run out of garden space so we grow them anyway and give them to friends and family. We are in Midrand; JHB.

    So we have the following you are welcome to take as many as you want. Collection only, sorry.
    Lemon grass. Mint plants. And Perennial Basil (attracts bees like crazy, so please take if you are cool with having lots of bees. They help so much with pollination if you have fruit trees and veggie gardens)
    Lemon trees - the ones in the right corner are ready for planting. It is a very large lemon with a thick and soft peel. which makes it easy to peel by hand. And a normal size lemon in the middle.
    2 small snot apple trees, these grow very large.

    I so wish it was that large. I would dig a fish pond and put in a nice walkway bridge. These are all grown from cuttings from plants in the garden.
    7 x lemon grass. 4 x Basil, 4 x mint, and about 7 lemon trees that are big enough to plant. And 1 x chilli tree that produces a lot of hot, but not too crazy chilli's
    I will start making tree cuttings again in Autumn when I prune them, and the herbs and stuff are ready much faster. So will post when there are more ready in a few months.

    I changed the garden to a food garden a few years ago. As it is not too big, you will see I have to train and prune the fruit trees quite a bit with string etc to keep them short but still bare a fair amount of fruit
    You will see spinach, strawberries all between each other. The flowering shrub on the middle is what the basil looks like when it grows a bit

    The wild garlic helps with pests. And the roots of the marigold help with root nematodes.

    Always room for a nice fish pond.

    I'll take one of each of the ones I asked about above if still available please.

    It looks amazing. Get rid of that trampoline and make the pond there. Then it will be perfect :lol:

    I didn't know marigolds can do that. I just grow them for the flowers:lol:

    All are still available you can take several if you want. Just PM me your details, and we can connect.

    Even for just the flowers, the marigolds are so pretty.
    You can also plant any legumes, beans etc, between the plants. They fix Nitrogen from the air, and fertilize all the plants around them.[/QUOTE]

    I'll leave some for others. Don't want to be greedy.
