Edible Landscaping


On today's trip to the nursery, I went in search of various organic fertilizers and just a couple more plants. I found a lovely Aronia shrub with pretty color and lots of berries. It's known for its white flowers in the spring, bold red leaves in autumn, and clusters of round flavorful berries high in Vitamin C. The berries can be used in juices and jams, or eaten fresh when fully ripe. It's another adventure in edible landscaping!

Hi there, I wish I had seen you riding home with your tree in your bike.

Yes, it was a great sight to see. I had a nice, leisurely ride, with just a slight breeze rustling the leaves.
