Before and

I posted this image on Facebook today. In the garden I have planted 13 tropical fruiting plants. Today I planted nine small shrubs. Although not fruit bearing they will invade the ground with roots, provide shade and attract pollinators. I'm keen to get much of my planting completed during this current North Queensland Wet Season.

Adding another 120mm of composted mulch

Nothing like loading 24 cubic metres of mulch onto many wheelbarrow loads. Your reward is simply hearing the ground singing!

In goes the Star Apple

Finally the last of the large fruit trees is in the ground! Once the wet season hits in will go the smaller fruit giving shrubs!

In goes the Rollinia

I like this image

This pic says it all!

Dwarf Coconut

Hopefully these will turn out to be the shorter variety. These plants are often taken for granted and yet they provide so much. I''ve planted two.

White Mulberry.

This is another Bush Tucker tree. If I can't eat the fruit then I'm delighted that the birds just love it!
