Garden Fail # 16

Owner Name: Sara
Location: Australind, WA 

Oh dear I really need help please – call my thumb brown!
For the last 20 months, I have been renting, trying to grow fruit and vegies in pots . When my first rental was sold from under me, the removalists disappeared for two-hour lunches with all my plants in their truck on both day… temperatures over 40 degrees outside the truck.
I can’t blame them for everything that has gone to the Sulo Bin ( just a few fruit trees).

I have managed to kill in the previous small western courtyard:
• 20 window boxes of herbs
• Baby cabbage, cherry tomatoes, rocket, chervil, artichokes ( ok I didn’t realise how big they get and tried to transplant) , brussel sprouts, carrots and strawberries, saltbush, citronella, spinach and rocket
• I killed a couple of frangipanis, 2 blueberries and 1 raspberry . Too hot in a western courtyard
• All tropical origin inside plants and even succulents- too hot in the new rental.
• Avocados (4), lemons, lime, a bay tree , box of lettuces, tomato plant, peacherine , pear and mandarin, Kafir lime.
• I have tried to grow roses pots- that’s a 50/50. Haha !

I would love some help please with a wonderful, vertical Mr Stacky that can give a bountiful supply and wheeled around to find the right aspects with the seasons with self-watering. I would be forever grateful and promise to send photos of all seasons crops. I ready to try vegies again come spring for the summer!!!
My only success…..broccoli this winter ( in an eastern courtyard) with lots of caterpillars-has made me so happy! PS: My Property Manager is complaining about all the pots! I reckon a Mr Stacky could solve that problem! I now have a small northern veranda to try again this spring ready to trying again!
