Hated leaving that tree.... Anyway, I loved them. I reccommend them to my clients as well. they are, in my experience a biannual producer, like many Italian Prunes (this year being an ON year!)

Gabrielle, Let me know how the repellent works. Maybe I'll add it to our sandbox! And try the rat version because they are alive and well. The tomatoes are almost done so maybe they'll head on over to the ketsup laced poison soon... Kitsap FG, maybe he won’t notice if you add a few more blueberries each year..

I had a terrible raccoon problem in my yard as soon as put in my seedlings and seed they would come and dig it all up, even breaking my irrigation system. I used this product (you might already know about it) and have never had a problem again; its been about 6 months now. Also, the neighborhood cats visit everyday to do their business, IN MY VEGETABLE BEDS!!! I was ready to go buy a shotgun!! I ordered their cat product too, and so far it’s been 4 days and have not cleaned one poop. The company also has a product for rats… worth a try. http://www.critter-repellent.com/rat/getting-rid-of-rats.php I love your blog. Keep up the good work. You really inspire me to do more.

My husband has declared that I am not to touch it as he loves his green park out front. To keep the peace, I took over the back yard in it's entirety and left him the front (with minor encroachments of blueberries and cranberries planted in some of the "flower" beds! You have done really well with your personal challenge this year. You should be proud. I think as a society we far underutilize the land resources we have at our disposal because we have been brain washed to believe that only large scale factory farming produces enough for subsistence. I say hogwash! John Jeavon's and many others have shown the way to biointensive planting that produces huge yeilds from relatively small plot sizes using organic techniques and practices. It's all good. I do have unused lawn but it is in deep shade and hardly grows grass – let along food producing items.
