Over the years I have bought, been gifted and propagated many types of plants and trees.  I finally have decided that I need to know what I actually have at the farm and to plan for their care and maintenance as well as continuity.  When trying to catalog them, at times I have difficulty in trying to classify them so I put them in the category of how it is used most often.  I broke them up into 5 categories:

  1. Herbs
  2. Fruits
  3. Bananas
  4. Vegetables and
  5. Others.

Basically the Others category is what I couldn’t fit into the remaining categories.  For a plant that fruits but is mainly used as a herb, then I categorise them as Herbs.  Many can argue over the classification but the categorisation is from my viewpoint :).  I may have missed some but after compiling this list, now I know why I never seem to have enough time…… 34 herbs, 24 fruits,  21 Banana varieties, 35 Vegetables and 10 Others – each type has multiple plants for a total of 124 types.  Amazing what you can fit on a planting space of less than 2.5 acres.  Still more work ahead in documenting them – and there is always something new to add 🙂
