There are already a few artichokes in the bed, and I have potted fig and bay that I may move into this area. I won't plant out the fig - I find their roots difficult to manage once they get going.
Sadly Citrus don't grow well in my mountain valley area as we get severe frosts.
I would love to see photos of your garden when it is planted!

I hope you read this and out of subject but can you use red gum for wooden cooking spoons?
