Happy Earth Day. Despite my issues with the 'Green Movement', I can appreciate earth day. Time to reflect on the gifts of nature halfway into spring here in the northern hemisphere. As a landscaper....back in the '90's, :doh I occasionally found it perplexing why my customers, who've spent decades of their lives laboring to have and maintain a nice home and a great yard, grow NOTHING edible on their properties. Not a fruit tree nor berry bush, nada. It is both the will of god and personally practical to grow something edible on your land if you are lucky enough to have some.
So, my advice to you typical homeowners, in honor of Earth Day, is to plant something that will bear fruit. Provide a few dinners off the yard. This will allow you to NOT have to run the the store,
hippy talk trigger warning...
and thus reduce your carbon footprint and there is no styrofoam packaging to dispose of. suggestion: Ever bearing raspberries... close to magical.
