As Joni said, we've got to get back to the garden. I think it also makes one more aware of what gets put into the ground, water & air because we end of up eating it. Yes !

We inherited a mature apple tree, and have planted pear, crab apple, blackberry, gooseberry and rhubarb. Of these only the blackberry has not done really well. The gooseberries are a revelation- several pounds of fruit the first year, and a constant and helpful habit of self-rooting the drooping branches. The birds love them, too. Oh, and they taste so good! All our purchases were made locally and cheaply. I'd love to add a nut tree, but no room at present. We’ve been living in our present house(Ottawa) for nine years.

All we have are these massive and dirty maples. But hey, at least they give us shade. :-) I am thinking of a small tree for the front yard though... must check this site out. Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea. What an excellent idea. All we have are these massive and dirty maples. But hey, at least they give us shade. :-)
