Two years ago I wrote about my disappointing experience eating fresh cacao in Cuba. Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is the tree that chocolate comes from. The fruit is a big pod that forms directly on the trunk Eating Golden Apple
Day one of our big trip has just passed and I've already managed to try a new fruit. I expected to eat a lot of my favourite fruit on this trip, but I didn't anticipate finding anything, besides Let’s Learn About the Historical Origins of Herbs, Fruits and Vegetables
Have you ever heard of sea cabbage, a wild cousin of the domesticated brassicas? Did you know that edible bananas are a primitive plant thought to be related to some of the first trees of the primeval forest?
I didn't either until Pawpaw
Until very recently, pawpaws have been one of those mythical fruits that I've known about for ages, but have never seen in person. Until just a few years ago I was under the mistaken impression that Fruits of Passion
The other day I happened upon a store that was selling four different types of passion fruit (passiflora) simultaneously. While I have tried some of these types separately before, finding four at once posed an excellent opportunity Currant Worm on My Gooseberries
These gooseberries aren't from my garden, although judging by the chewed up state of its leaves I'd hazard a guess that they have suffered a similar plight.
A week or two back, what was supposed to be Growing an Edible Strawberry Pot
Strawberry pots have a bad reputation in the gardening world. They have poor water distribution and tend to dry out quickly. Sometimes theyre ugly. Or the pockets are too small. Or the pockets don't have Buddha’s Hand Citron (Citrus medica L.)
When that old adage "The grass is always greener" was coined they must have been thinking about gardeners -- or maybe they were just thinking about gardeners like me -- because as much as I love my Local Food Trees

I'd like to think I've accumulated a lot of plant knowledge over the years, but my tree knowledge is embarrassingly thin. It's all down to the fact that I don't have anywhere to plant and grow one. Things I Learned While Camping
Homesteading -- the kind that involved living in tents and no machinery -- was terribly difficult. I'm sure of it. Of course I already knew this, camping merely drove that point home in a new way. Simple tasks Vegan Almond Strawberry Jellie
I have to admit that I made this dessert BEFORE realizing that it was red and white, the perfect Canada Day summer treat. Americans can add blueberries for July 4. I came up with the idea ages Experiencing Fresh Cacao
On our third day in Cuba we took a trip organized by our hotel up into the Sierra Maestra mountains. There were a few different legs to the excursion, the first of which was a stop at around the halfway mark Before and After - Strawberry Canister
This is what it looked like today. There was a third ripe strawberry this morning but a certain someone (hint: rhymes with Gavin) got to it before I could take some photos.
What it looked like at planting time a few weeks Strawberry Cocoa Mud
It's a scorcher out there today so I thought I'd share my recipe for a favourite summer refresher. I just came indoors after a full day out in the garden and this drink was exactly the right cool down treat.
Ingredients:
1 frozen banana, chopped
1 First Strawberry of the Season
We enjoyed our first ripe strawberry of the season this morning. Nothing beats the sweet, sweet deliciousness of an organic, homegrown strawberry. Strawberries are probably the easiest fruit to grow in containers and do very well in hanging baskets, strawberry pots, or window Cheap n’ Easy Container Idea - Strawberries and Violas
What to do with a lone strawberry plant leftover from another soon-to-be-revealed project, a small flat of red violas ($3.50 for 16 plants!), and an old coffee canister that was thrifted as part of a 70s era fake woodgrain 4 part kitchen canister set? Super Mega Deluxe Apple/Pear Pie (with Spelt Crust)
I promised this recipe months ago but alas my spontaneous, never-the-same-thing-twice cooking style makes recipe writing tricky. This is a good pie to make during the winter since apples and pears are the only local fruits still available at the farmer's market. Passionfruit
My passionflower vine grew a passionfruit! This may seem like small hat (or other small things) to those of you living in the warm, Southern regions of the world, but it's a BIG deal to a Northern gardener like me. I have Foraging in the City
This article in today's Toronto Star is interesting. It's about people harvesting from neglected or owner-less trees in the city.
