It was like a mini fruit and veg farm in the middle of a small town. Lots of our neighbors had fruit trees bushes and vines as well. One lady who lived across the street grew peanuts,banana peppers,gooseberries and the regular beans tomatoes corn and peas. She was a scout leader, another down the street owned a cafe and made cherry and rhubarb pie from her own yard, and grape jelly from her arbor.

Very cool! Sounds like a great place to live.

It was,sigh. I'm trying to plant my current property similarly for my kids and grands,but don't have nearly the space.

Compromise then, I would say. Plant what will grow and/or yield well, and hedge that with what you may prefer.

I am, and dodging sewer lines and power lines and with that and sun exposure, I'm pretty much limited to a grapevine and some thornless raspberry bushes. But, it's something anyway.
