A photograph of the view from one of the houses at Finca Del Soul looking east at sunrise. The photo contains a diverse array of lush vegetation. In the foreground are smaller herbaceous plants including some with showy purple flowers. Behind them are some small trees and ginger-like plants growing up out of a carpet of pinto peanut. Farther back are coffee trees with badea vines climbing them, larger native trees, and a hill in the distance over which the sunrise is cresting and illuminating a sky streaked with wispy white clouds.

Winter pruning on one of my espalier apple trees this month. I missed the summer pruning this year, so I had to play a little catch up.

A young fruit tree with bare winter branches stands in front of a brick house with sage green shutters. The tree is surrounded by brown mulch and appears unpruned, with multiple crossing branches growing in various directions.

The same fruit tree after winter pruning, now with a cleaner, more open structure. Branches have been selectively removed to create better spacing and form. The tree stands in the same location against the brick house with sage green shutters.

UK Tescos has dormant #FruitTrees and bushes in stock again: #AppleTrees (various including Discovery), #PearTrees (Conference), cherry, gooseberries, redcurrants, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries - so tempting but what would grow well in the remaining space in the garden…

These are 2 of the rad men who showed up today. Almost all of our workshops have a huge females over males attendees ratio - even smaller margins for people who don't use any gender markers. Our community orchard supervisor is a proud & out trans person. Our #LifecyclesProjectSociety is almost fully staffed by #queers. In fact, I'm one of a very tiny portion of non-queers - we are the minority!

A older woman in a gray beanie and blue jacket smiles at the camera while leaning on a metal ladder with a pair of pruning shears in her green-gloved hand, as she prunes a tree with mossy branches; other people and equipment are visible in the background.

I love working with Ruby 😀
She's our newest young intern, working as an orchard assistant. Ruby is also neurodivergent on the spectrum & is disabled too - we understand each other very well & work well together✌️
We met a year ago, at past volunteer work parties. I started working for LifeCycles, in August. My contract runs til end of March.

A smiling woman, wearing glasses and a patterned sweater, kneels with her arms raised, holding branches overhead, near a leaning ladder in a sunny backyard with a large evergreen tree in the background.

A person wearing glasses and a patterned sweater stands on a metal ladder, reaching towards the branches of a moss-covered tree, with a clear blue sky visible through the tree's bare branches.

Multiple images show people pruning fruit trees outdoors in a sunny community orchard setting. Individuals are seen on ladders or using hand saws and pruning tools. Several images include a close-up of a person with dark hair using a hand saw on a thick tree branch, another shows a person reaching with pruning shears to trim branches, and other images show a group of people observing and interacting with the fruit trees.

Lychee growers' creative desserts and drinks offset a dismal harvest
By Jennifer Nichols

Freeze-dried desserts, lychee ice cream, sorbets, and frozen juice are keeping family owned farms open to the public longer, despite a dramatic drop in the Sunshine Coast lychee harvest.

WA mango grower finds fruit as big as bowling ball
By Kimberley Putland and Amelia Searson

A WA mango grower is pleasantly surprised to find a crop full of massive mangoes, as big as a bowling ball.

I picked some apricots from my tree, this one was irresistible and only partially made it inside 😋

We decided to be a bit experimental/lazy with the apple tree at the end of the season and just leave some apples on there. The idea being that it would hopefully give the birds something to snack on in the colder months and we wouldnt have to pick and throw away apples that weren't great for doing anything with.

Gotta say its been a big success. So many birds visiting our garden here in the winter months, especially now as the earth is covered in snow. The kids and the cat have become avid winter bird watchers!

A close-up photo of an inflorescence next to the rough-barked trunk of a tree. The trunk occupies most of the left half of the image, with the peduncle curving in front of it and sprouting medium-large yellow flowers with four thick petals that have a deep reddish-pink hue on the outside. Two small ants are visible on the pale yellow flower at the top centre of the image. In the right of the image, in the background, are a flowering branch of a coffee tree, the stem of a papaya plant, and part of a dragonfruit cactus.

An extra close-up photo of a pink-tinged yellow flower with four thick petals. The trunk of the tree and several other flowers and flower buds are visible behind the flower that is in focus.

Some years ago I found a pomegranate tree beaten into submission as a hedge so I took a cutting.
Rooted it in a pot then transplanted it into the ground in #Riviersonderend [River without End] and it sat stunned for two years then realised that there were no more restrictions on growth and has now started producing fruit despite the 35°C heat.

How to Create a Backyard #FoodForest with #Fruit & #NutTrees 🌳🥜🍎

Published by Ty Ty Plant Nursery, LLC, on
June 4, 2025

"A backyard food forest is a #sustainable, low-maintenance #gardening method that mimics a natural #forest #ecosystem—except instead of wild plants, you’re growing delicious fruits, nuts, #herbs, and more. It’s a long-term investment in your health, your land, and your ability to grow your own nutrient-rich food without relying on chemicals or constant labor.

"Whether you have a sprawling #backyard or a small suburban plot, you can design your own food forest using fruit and nut trees as the foundation. Here’s how to get started.

🌿 What Is a Food Forest?

"A food forest (also called a #ForestGarden) is a multi-layered growing system that mirrors the structure of a natural forest. It includes:

- Canopy layer – Large fruit and nut trees (like pecans, walnuts, pears) [I WOULD USE CAUTION WITH WALNUTS! They can be poisonous to other plants!]

- Sub-canopy layer – Dwarf or semi-dwarf fruit trees (like plums, figs, or apples)

- Shrub layer – Berries and bush fruits (like raspberries, blueberries, elderberries)

- Herbaceous layer – Culinary and medicinal herbs (like mint, comfrey, lemon balm)

- Groundcover layer – Spreading, edible or soil-building plants (like strawberries or clover)

- Root layer – Underground crops (like garlic, onions, or horseradish)

- Vertical/vine layer – Climbing plants (like grapes or kiwis)

"Together, these layers maximize space, diversify harvests, and support soil health and #biodiversity."
