[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be time consuming, but IMO, I like that I am eating fresh from my garden, and it tastes different.  It's also a hobby, and my workout (I hate exercising).

We grow
lettuce
zuchinni
tomatos
strawberries
peppers
sugar snaps
cucumber

We tried carrots, but they tasted a bit odd to me. Maybe too used to grocery ones. One year we grew a pumpkin and made pumpkin pie with it

You might want to move this to the gardening forum.

and we have two fruit trees that bear a fair amount of fruit.  I  love my fruit trees.

I live in a regular suburban subdivision, but we do have a privacy fence to try to keep the deer and rabbits out.  I can't keep the squirrels out no matter how hard I try.  If someone can find a way to do that, you would make a fortune.[/quote]What kind of fruit trees? We’re moving soon and have room for fruit trees. We’re looking for something low maintenance that will do well in this area. [/quote]
At the risk of outing myself... asian pear and persimmon trees.

The pear tree can be tricky. We had an infestation of some kind, and it was turning the leaves spotty.   DH sprayed it with something, can't remember, but it wasn't pesticide, and that seemed to do the trick.

side note: the cicadas have been laying eggs in the new branches of the tree, and the branches/leaves are dying.  Grrrr.[/quote]
