I just watched a video “Natural World – A Farm for the Future” .

It really should make us stop and think about our ability to provide food for ourselves in the near future.  Our industrial society certainly does depend on fossil fuels. According to the experts these supplies are beginning to dwindle and we need to start taking steps on a personal level to supply ourselves with sustainable supplies of food.  Edible landscaping can be one way to offset some of our food needs.

There are myriads of trees, shrubs, vines, perennials and annuals that are aesthetically  pleasing and able to supply edible produce.  I have a postage size plot of land, in the city, on which to grow edibles.  Granted I certainly can’t have a forest garden of any great magnitude but I can strive for a miniature forest.  It will not only help sustain the biodiversity of wildlife around me but also help offset my families need to go to the grocery store.

If everyone did the same,  amazing results could be achieved.
