When we bought our home nine years ago, we set out with a goal of creating an edible landscape that we could munch on from May until November. There were a couple of pear trees and a small vegetable plot on the property, but otherwise we were essentially starting from scratch.
This summer feels like we've finally achieved that goal! This is what a five minute meander through my backyard yielded today; red raspberries, black raspberries, sweet cherries, strawberries and jostaberries (not pictured, the goumi berries already in my belly). A perfect mid-morning snack. 😋
The kids are especially loving it this year too (some more than others, ha). A favourite game at the moment is sending them out to find 5 different edible things to eat. It's fun seeing what they're most excited about.
