If you add an orchard & garden, what do you grow? We want food we can't get in the market, or can't get fresh enough. We found a local orchardist who has preserved over 400 varieties of heirloom southern apples. We're starting with five. The complete list (in so far): Fruits: Apples: Old Fashioned Winesap, Golden Grimes, Blacktwig, Arkansas Black, & Virginia Gold Pears: Keiffer, Seckel, & Korean Giant, Plumblee Figs: Brown Turkey, Italian Golden Honey, & Black Violette Peaches: Indian Blood Cling & Elberta, Plus Asian Persimmons, Pomegranates, Plums, Kiwis, Pawpaws, & Jujubes. Berries: Blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, serviceberries, elderberries, gooseberries, plus ground cherries and scuppernong grapes. Plenty more: asparagus, sorrel, ginger, horseradish, saffron, rhubarb. Annuals next spring.
Good eats. Even if we'll be giving away a lot.
