Hey man, we must have similar climates, I am on the east coast of Oz. Passionfruit, pineapples, grapes, sweet potato, chillies, ginger, pumpkin, elder flower, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, turmeric, galangal, oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins, so much coffee, pawpaw, herbs, natal plums, fejoa, water chestnuts, malabar greens, warregal greens, tree spinach, cassava, finger limes, eggplants, , mulberries, chicory, comfrey, davidson plums, probably more. And yes, it is a total jungle, things always competing with each other, always finding things we didn't know were there. Every level, tubers, ground cover, shrubs, treed, vines.

Mangos... I'm going to go weep now. Maybe when global warming gets worse, I'll be able to plant some. I'd not heard of marango trees, so thanks for the education!

I live in Southern Vermont. As soon as I get my own place, depending on how acid or alkaline my soil is, I hope to plant pawpaws, blueberries, strawberries, Jerusalem artichoke, rhubarb, hazelnuts, possibly asparagus, and ostrich ferns (for the fiddleheads) if they aren't already endemic. Any wild berries will be encouraged, as well as other native edibles. I really hope to have at least a few mature sugar maples.

I've grown Brandywine tomatoes, Thai basil, sweet peppers, Arp rosemary, cucumbers, pumpkins, zucchini, thyme, parsley, sage, catnip, peppermint (in a pot so it wouldn't spread), lemon balm, cherry tomatoes from hanging baskets, mesclun, sunflowers, morning glories (Heavenly Blues), lemon thyme, pineapple sage, zinnias, and oodles of houseplants. I have an aloe that my mom gave my grandmother when mom was in the 1st or 2nd grade. So, that plant is about 75 years old now. Anyone want any aloe babies?
