Wonderful site! I am just discovering my passion for edible gardening; can’t wait till I can really dig in and digest all of this … 2 questions:
Do you sell Mulberry Trees or do you know who, in this area, does? I have been searching and desperately want one, and what are your nursery hours when I could come pay a visit? Thanks!

Hi. I thought I heard on the radio that edible landscaping plants would be available for sale on Saturday April 3,in Gainesville, Fl. Was this mistaken on my part? I work in Citrus during the week and cannot make it to the Wednesday market day. Is there any other way to buy some of these plants that are available for sale. Thanks.

hi, for mulberries, just put a tarp under the tree, shake the hell out of the leaves & branches & catch them below. Then fold it up into a bucket. :0)

Has anybody tried to grow Strawberry Trees (arbutus)? The fruits are bland alone, but take on a new dimension when roasted with honey and meat, or blended with elderberries, blueberries, and mayhaws, as was traditional in ancient Ireland.

Gooooo loquats! By far one of the easiest trees to grow in the Gainesville area. The only problem I’ve ever encountered with mine is lack of space for the fruit I harvest! These past few years I’ve had to give in and let the birds and squirrels help!

My daughter and I both love to step outside for a snack, between our local oranges, loquats, and plum trees.
