Pruning Trees: More on this later.
Welcome to Modern Sustainability. I hope to share our family adventures trying to turn our 2 acres in central Missouri into a some-what sustainable farm. We are currently growing fruit trees, berries and nut trees as well as a large vegetable garden. As we produce more each year, we learn more and more about food preservation, composting, water collection/irrigation, pest management and living lightly on the land. I hope you enjoy learning from our adventures and mistakes. Happy gardening!
Indoor tropicals that are fun and edible
We have a lot of fun growing small fruit bearing tropicals indoors. We put them outside when concern for freezing temperatures is past and they come inside in the winter after they have been pruned back to save room.
