What's your excuse for not filling your property with perennial fruit/nut bearing plants?
There are so many that are too perishable to be sold at the grocery store so the only way to get your hands on them is to either know a guy who grows it or to do it yourself.
Even the fruits you can get at the grocery store are cultivars that have the longest shelf life rather than the best taste or the most nutrition.
Do yourself a favour and plant something.
There's just about always something cool that grows where you live and it pisses off the government to no end that people are becoming more food independent.
There are constantly recalls because some central processing facility had listeria contamination or something. Buying prepackaged food isn't without risks.

Most Americans are rentoids who live in a spot for a year or two, and even if they weren't, the HOA says no trees or plants.

The American exists to produce for the Shareholder, and pay taxes.

You can grow a lot of stuff in pots.

my farm has a grove of orange trees somewhere in the back 200. it's great bait for wild piggies.

I don't own and I will never be able to own property. An argument could be made that I am property

>>510083376 (OP)
Let me know what I can grow in January. I'll wait.

>>510083506
The goyim are permitted to drive to work, and return home to sleep, and nothing more.

>>510083590
This is what I always tell people.
If you're too lazy to harvest your blueberries or whatever, there are plenty of squirrels who would love to eat them and get nice and plump.

>>510083639
You can grow microgreens indoors very affordably. You can make bank selling to the local restaurants. It just requires you maintain a very cleanly environment.

>>510083376 (OP)
Fruits are the most pain in the ass thing to manage
I have some fruit trees but they barely produce and then deer knock the shit over
Hot peppers are the only things I can count on

>>510083653
There are fruit that stay on the tree/bush well into the winter so you can go pick them at your leisure. They also tend to become tastier after having been through a frost. I just planted some wintergreen as a groundcover, and the really pretty red berries stay on all winter.

>>510083467
Could you get away with something like pic related? Dwarf trees punch well above their weight in fruit and do fine in pots, don't get huge etc

>>510083653
Start seeding things indoors to plant as soon as spring hits.

>>510083784
It's important to note that dwarf trees don't live as long.
But even if your tree only lasts 10 years, if it cost you 100 bucks upfront and gave you many times that in fruit, then you're laughing.

I planted some aronia berries in my yard. The plant cost me 20 bucks. If you were buying the berries themselves, that gets you almost *nothing*. There's probably more than 20 bucks of fruit on the thing already.

Those fruit trees have some fresh, tender leaves anon. You wouldn't happen to mind if I just... have a little taste?

>>510083590
>my farm has a grove of orange trees somewhere
lol, nice. sounds big and hot, if you know what im saying.

for me, i wish the fucking moose and deer would stop slipping off the growing tips so my 30 new apple, pear and plum trees could get some fucking growth on them. Yes, we protect them, but the fuckers wont stop. feel like i should camp out there with a shotty or something.

>>510084236
>*Fills squirt bottle with soapy water*

>>510083653
oh buddy, theres a whole range of hardy trees you could plant. just look up your hardiness zone and then go to a good tree nursry site and see what you can do. give them a call.

>>510084326
I've been really enjoying my honeyberries. They're still rather young so not producing a ton yet, but the fruit is way better than blueberries.
I'm thinking of getting a bilberry, though. Maybe a lingonberry.

>>510084399
go nuts (literally) with planting. it pays off in the long run. i'll ask my wife the place we order trees and stuff from because i cant remember the name, theres several good places in canada that actually do a good job with the packing and shipping. we've had some stuff arrive mostly dead so fuck those niggers.

hang on

My Winch Under Wood....home

>>510083784
I have a ten year old lemon tree I planted from seed that has never fruited.
I now have five mandarin orange trees I just started this year.

>>510083653
>>510084399
so theres Hardy fruit tree nursery
cornhill, in NB (where we are)
and some expensive place called Red Barn (i think) in ON.
Apples and berries are the way to go with cold zones.

>>510084705
but you repeat yourself

>>510085062
Have you tried saskatoons yet?
They're kinda like a blueberry but with tiny little seeds that taste like almonds. The birds/squirrels got all of mine this year.

>>510083875
Yeah I really don't know of any fruit tree that isn't insanely economical to grow. Cherry's *maybe* if you don't have a good source of rain/bore water. But I mean I live in a desert and still manage to grow tons of fruit and veg with nothing but rainwater. We recently had a 9 month drought, not a drop of rain, everything was still green and lush and trucking along just fine and a few weeks of winter and all the tanks are full again ready to carry us through the rest of the year.

I'm keen to start planting olives to make our own olive oil this year, price of oil here is becoming increasingly fucked.

>>510085007
Whereabouts did you get the seeds? If you're planting seeds from supermarket fruit a lot of big corporate growers are using seeds that won't fruit.

>>510084705
>Nothing grows here except spiders and misery.
Big Tiddy Goth GF's are so back.

>>510085212
ive eaten them and they are great. we didnt plant any so far though. just didn't get around to them yet. still working on getting the other berries going.

>>510085279
>Olive
I'm jealous. It's way too cold to grow that, here.
I did recently plant some arctic kiwis, though. Looking forward to those.

>>510085279
your wife looks hot btw

>>510084290
I'd rather eat the moose than the fruit, anon.

>>510085453
Mmmmmmm.
Moose with a berry coulis.

I worked from 15 to 40 and I was never able to earn enough to purchase any land for a home so I could have a wife and children.
I failed, I guess I was just not smart enough or I did not work hard enough.
I am so sorry. I am done. There is nothing for me in this world or in this llife.
Every piece of land is owned.

>>510085007
lemon from store fruit has to be grafted to bear fruits

Honestly, if I had room to grow citrus indoors, I'd probably go with a kumquat instead. They are more cold tolerant and they're cool since you eat the whole fruit, skin and all.

>>510085453
>>510085494
this. eat a fruity moose eh?
fruit attracts moose. use your fruit to bag a moose.

I encourage everyone interested in gardening to look into electroculture. Simply coil a piece of copper around a dowel and stick it in the ground. I learned of it a while ago but only recently tried it myself with a couple of identical beds of perennials my dad grows. I put a coil, or antenna, in one, and it went crazy. It blew my dad away, he is a science/reddit kind of guy

>>510083376 (OP)
oh but i have. those shits take a while to produce anything tho, unless you spend a fortune on them

>>510085893
i dont believe you

>>510086035
It shouldn't be that weird to you, Anon. Plants use electromagnetic radiation to produce energy. That's what photosynthesis is.

>>510085279
We switched from exclusively using olive oil to using homemade organic butter a couple years ago and never looked back

>>510086147
Lard is also really good.
Back in the day, margarine was actually made from beef tallow.

>>510086137
its weird and i still dont believe it bit am willing to lurn

>>510086198
Did you know that wounds exposed to plasma heal faster?

>>510086238
seems like you're changing the subject now. i bet wounds exposed to jizma heals faster too.

>>510085359
>your wife looks hot btw
Settle down mohammed.

>>510085339
Kiwis are great, you could also check out Persimmons if you need something cold hardy and have a bit of a sweet tooth.

>>510086147
We use tallow for the most part for cooking, but the wife likes olive oil for salads etc

>>510086332
You'd be surprised how related the two are.

If nothing else this keeps bugs away, even just putting a copper ring around the base of plants/pots will keep snails and other slugs away. Insects are ultra sensitive to even the slightest changes in electromagnetic fields. It's how ants etc know it's going to rain before it does. Bees use geomagnetic fields as well.

>>510086664
i have been told that im electrifying

>>510087425

I have blueberries, strawberries, pineberries, cranberries (with cloudberries that never grow), raspberry and blackberry in a crop cage.

I have 2 apples and a pear espaliered. 2 hazelnut bushes.

Can't believe how much food you get for so little space. I mean it's a tree but still.

>>510088936
>with cloudberries that never grow
Awww. I was thinking of picking some up as a groundcover.

>>510083653
Harvest or grow?
Anything that grows normally in canada.
Apples, pears … pretty much any stone fruit.

If you build/buy a greenhouse and heat it (the sun will heat it you just need to KEEP it warm) you can grow all kinds… citrus, banana, guava, olives.

>>510089008
There are in my cranberry mini bog with is just 2.5'x10'. They are just really finicky. Only my 2nd year.

>>510089102
Yeah, I've been told they're one of the most difficult rubus to grow.

>>510088693
Terraces can also be extremely comfy.

>>510088722
It was always shit.

>>510089379
Zero reason to use a non-productive hedge. Those could all be berry bushes.

>>510089379
>It was always shit.
oh, for shame luv, for shame.

>>510089448
Brambles are not exactly rare.

>>510083467
Forgage/cultivate wild shit in wild places. I tend a patch of dewberries in the woods near me. Maybe 10hrs of work a year plus picking time. there's always more than I care to pick. I have 5 gallon freezer bags in my freezer right now. Cobbler all winter bros.

Also look in guerilla gardening. Lots of places to plant shit out there.

Some would argue that Eastenders was good when it involved actual cockneys.

>>510089934
it was pretty good too. i was born in london and raised oop norf so both were acceptable.

>>510085007
Start grafting yourself.

Get a Carrizo or Flying Dragon. They are hardy and can don't limit the fruit at all.
My neighbour's wife did the lemon lime split graft and it fruits well for her.

>>510083376 (OP)
My excuse is that I have enough pests and rodents with the Japanese maples and single pear tree I have.

>>510085537
Let me tell you something, little britches. If you act like that bee acts, uh-uh. You're working too hard. And don't spend your time lookin' around,
for something you want that can't be found.
When you find out you can live without it,
and go along not thinkin' about it...
I'll tell you something true. The bare necessities of life will come to you.

>>510090017

it would be extremely painful

I did boost to plants and trees from LOWES, the out door section. Just put on my previously jacked LOWES vest and walked into the outdoor center like a belonged there and took what I wanted. Even gave the cart boys on smoke break a little wave as I loaded up and left. I like LOWES it is a challenge since there are no niggers there for distraction purposes and no one ever expects the well groomed White man who is a master at the social game to be a raging antisocial thief. But the hilarious part is I looked it up and some NIGGER owns LOWES. No kidding. I about died laughing.

>>510090282

>>510090684
we had a nice graft on an apple tree growing until some fucking moose decided it was the nicest thing on the property, the bastard.

>>510090918
I generally just avoid plants that require grafting.

>>510083376 (OP)
I have an apple tree, I get maybe a couple per year that I can eat. the rest are usually filled with bugs. if I don't constantly spray it with bug killer I don't get any.

>>510091046
Once the flowers are fertilized you can put bags on them to prevent any bugs getting to the apples.

I have fig trees, peach trees, pomegranates, and a blackberry bush all in my small yard. Planning to plant some grape vines this winter. And an apple or plum tree.

>>510091678
>Figs
Just a tad too cold to reliably grow them here, unfortunately. My green grapes are doing almost too well, though. They keep invading an area they aren't supposed to, lol.

>>510090962
ive never felt required to do it. everything was very voluntary. one time i was paid to take a chainsaw and cut the tops off several acres of 50 year old grape vines. was fun. then some spics from Napa Valley came up and grafted the shit out of those things. most of the grafts actually took which was nice.

>>510091815
I like to avoid hurting the plants if at all possible.

>>510091871
vines are weeds anon, they dont give a single fuck i promise you.

>>510091953
I only do what's strictly necessary. Like if some FUCKING BEETLES decide to eat some of my grape leaves, I'll prune the damaged leaves off.

>>510092053
the wine maker wanted to switch to a different variety and grafting is the quickest way to get fruit production back up again instead of planting new vines. i think it worked out pretty well. was just interesting to be zipping along the rows cutting down the guys vineyard. those caliwali spics sure could graft though i'll tell you that.

>>510083376 (OP)
way ahead of ya, my dear faggot. got pecan, got wild arugula, trying to grow some marshmallow, lemon balm, mint, stinging nettles (amazing), jerusalem artichoke (aka the topinambour), some eternally rising rocket that throws up a few broccoli spears every spring, buncha chives, walking onions, (not annual, but tomatoes, amaranth, etc), yarrow. still working on a few more plants, and have some berry bushes in mind (currants, sentinel berries) as well as several other plants i've researched, while learning to use the ones that exist here already (wild lettuce, broadleaf plantain, etc)

i love perennials
i hate the monoculture
I HATE THE GRASS

>>510085007
A lot of plants are male/female. They need a partner nearby for them to fruit.
