Oh,i'm so happy to have found the beyond blue garden! Jeez those gardenias smell good. I am planting some garlic and spinach in the vegie patch, and some sweet pea and poppies so we can have them in spring. ALSO, a dove tree which i have always wanted real life, but never had. Bing! Dove tree on the lawn just past the avenue of oaks. x

What a great thread.

I would like to plant lavender and a mango tree in this garden.

I am someone who can make artificial flowers wilt, so am wondering does anyone know a plant that thrives on neglect in bad soil??

Well if there is a veggie patch and flowers I suppose I'd better install the bee hive. I don't know much about keeping bees but my Grandad once gave me a beekeeping book which was his father's so I'll learn. Or are there any closet beekeepers on here?

Quirky, how about a succulent garden? There's a Jade plant in here already which would look good with them too.

Guys, love it!

Especially how there's no budget haha. Anything is possible...

At last a place where people who have brown thumbs can grow without fear.

I never thought this would take off this far. I thought it would fizzle out faster than a sparkler on a birthday cake. WRONG. All is good.

Haha no way Kanga gardens are pure gold 😊

While I'm here admiring the general splendor I'll plant an icecream bean tree. I've got one it's leaves are awesome.

Of course I'm waiting and waiting for the bean pod and it's fluffy white icecreamy like goodness (seeing as I can't eat icecream anymore this will be the next best thing). One day 😊

Great thread Kanga

Sorry Quercus .... that is meant to say, are your joking. I keep hitting either the send button or the reply one before I am actually ready. Well I was asking basically is that a real tree, the ice cream bean one. And if so, does it really taste like ice cream?

To continue on the subject...a chocolate mint , to go with the ice cream bean?

Hi Shell,

Yep it's real but I'm still waiting for a bean on my tree so I don't know what they're like yet 😊 apparently the pods are filled with fluffy white flesh which is the bit you eat. If it tastes crap I'm going to be a bit devestated haha. The tree is called Inga edulis if you were wondering.

Mmm the chocolate mint smells delicious. I'll plant some lemon balm that smells nice too.
