That both Natale and Francesco invited you in for a tour and take home treats is so endearing. Thanks for the post. I love that you profiled the people behind the trees.

I lived beside him for two years and he was such a big help to my garden! When I moved into the house on the corner I figured I had 1100 sq ft of grapes in the back, a plum tree that was dying and two pear trees - planted and grafted by Natalie! I moved to Ottawa 15 months ago and when I was planting my tomatoes this year I thought of him and all the tricks he taught me! We had an amazing garden going on my property with cucumbers, lots of tomatoes, flowers, and lots of grapes. I miss him dearly and wish he came with me to Ottawa!

My Dad just bought an apple tree that bears 5 different types of apples. For a small city garden, it's the perfect solution if you want a variety of fruit.

He had his own greenhouse in his backyard where his prized fig tree used to be. There were trees galore - It's all about community and reaching out to a past that is soon to be gone if we don't pass down the information. Another reason why Not Far from the Tree is Golden in so many ways! They both remind me of my Nonno Carmine. He had his own greenhouse in his backyard where his prized fig tree used to be.
