Ask HN: Do you garden or try to grow fruits/vegetables?

I live in North NSW, Australia. At my home I have a mango tree, olive tree and am about to put some blueberries in also. I grow tomato&#x27;s in the garden at the moment and am about to plant my 2nd summer crop of lettuces, rocket and some capsicum and chilli plants. I grow many herbs.<p>Down the road is my folks farm which I help caretake. They lease the land to the local dairy farmer for his herd to keep the grass mown. Out there we have roughly 30 pecan trees , 2 mangoes, 2 macadamia nuts, 1 starfruit, coffee, mulberries, figs, custard apples, pineapples, dragon fruit,paw paw and bananas in the orchard. Our veggie garden has asparagus, capsicum, chillis, lettuces, garlic,squash, rhubarb and a heap of other herbs and such as seasons permit. Scattered around the house garden we have pomegranate, lemons and heaps of rosemary and mint amongst the tropical plants and English flowers.<p>We fertalize with cow shit and occasionally surface pellets of equal npk. I also use a house&amp;garden a&amp;b nitrogen mix for some particularly finicky plants or for things that need a quick hit.<p>I&#x27;d love to work in agribusiness but ATM I&#x27;m just a labourer. I am helping a friend with tech for a mushroom farm to try get into it a bit.<p>Sorry for the poor formating &#x2F; gramar this was written from a phone.
