    Has anyone planted a decorative garden only with edibles?

    Jurassic plants website is a nightmare for me - too many tempting plants! They claim yuzu citrus is hardy - maybe Gloucestershire is mild enough to try @Neil Clements ?

    Bonemeal/Growmore/Chicken Pellets

    I remember from when I was a kid, in the videogame minecraft, if you right click with the bonemeal on a small tree it will instantly become a mature 10m tree. So use it carefully!!!

    I bought a couple of these. The first season after planting, the leaves were completely demolished by caterpillars. Rather put me off replacing them.
