      My home owner’s association would have a COW if we tried to have a front yard this heavily planted. But... they usually leave us alone re: the back yard. I am most impressed that after several back surgeries and in chronic pain, she is doing all of this!!!! She isn’t complaining, but she is not comfortable if she is still wearing a back brace. Bless her. She’s amazing.

    Most plants are edible according to a group of enthusiastic people I met in North Italy a few years ago. They didn't just talk, we went walking in the hills surrounding the town where I lived - a 5 minute walk - and collected all sorts of plants, herbs and vines. Then they cooked risotto with the plants we gathered at the local Italian Alpine Club: it was delicious!

    Very interesting lady and I admire her stamina and go do it attitude! This is the way we are meant to live! I know my great grandparents came to Canada from Germany and grew their food , raised cows etc. Hard work was done. They traded with the indigenous people and I still have a corn basket that they used. I also grew up with a big back yard garden full of vegetables , and an apple tree, raspberries, and strawberries. And visited my grandmother's huge garden with cherry and peach trees and lots of veggies. We shared with our neighbors and often invited friends for supper on weekends. We were poor financially, but did our best!
