Hello,

for us, it is purely a feel-good garden, meaning: no vegetables, a few flowering plants, a large lawn area. One exception is our herb corner, where we have a stone spiral, e.g., with thyme, sage, and basil. Otherwise, we also have a few large container plants that serve as a kind of boundary to the terrace.

I have grown tomatoes and zucchinis :) I'm not sure yet what else could be added

First of all, sorry for the grave robbing :)

But: How is your harvest success with the kiwis? Do you have mini kiwis or the regular, large-fruited kiwis? What is the location like?
The background is that just yesterday we planted a mini kiwi including a male plant on the house wall (southwest). There is still space for a large-fruited variety, but we have doubts whether that would work.

We have taken over a kiwi in the apartment building. No idea how old it is. It climbs up the back of the garage, over to the neighbor's side. Overall, definitely 4-5 meters wide and correspondingly tall. So if it has fruit (last year there was a crop failure due to late frost in early April), then it produces tons of fruit. We have no idea what to do with the things. They also taste good and have the familiar size from the supermarket, but the flesh is not quite as green.

We don’t have any fruits yet ☹️
We pruned the shoots last year. Both plants are in full sun.

My father grows kiwis. Under a pergola, in Rheinland-Pfalz (not in a wine region, it's too cold there for that). The two or three female (plus one male) plants yield over a hundred kg in good years, size like in the supermarket, taste sometimes even better. However, he has to harvest unripe and let them ripen in the cellar, the summer is too short there.
