Hi, One of my favourites is perennial basil – pest deterrent, bee attractant, and you have basil all year found. Also love ginger, yakon, tamarillos, brazilian spinach, mushroom plant, lebanese cress… not to mention all the fruit trees. Cheers, Sonya

Brazilian spinach, garlic chives (lovely in omelettes), ceylon spinach, sweet potato (I use the leaves), kangkong… are some of the veges that never die off in my backyard.

Thanks for that – I do visit Sonya’s blog regularly but had missed that post. I have just emailed Isabel Shipard and asked for her catalogue of herbs and plants. I see Daley’s have it for sale.

Check out the Vegetable Hummingbird tree that Sonya at Permaculture Pathways has just mentioned in her blog. Googling it is useful too.

Passionfruit – hands down, although I know they don’t last forever. They don’t seem to require any looking after once you’ve planted them with a dollop of blood and bone (or a fish carcass if you have one) and their yield is phenomenal. Roll on Passionfruit Cheesecake time.
