How to Decide Which Fruits and Vegetables to Buy Organic. There are lots of benefits to organic fruits and vegetables. But organic foods can be expensive or hard to find, so while you may want to always purchase organic fruits and vegetables, this isn’t always a practical option. So how do you decide which fruits and vegetables to buy organic? Many fruits and vegetables, however, have their own natural and effective defenses against pests.

Review by Michael Smith (Veshengro) The 300L is a Japanese manufactured fruit pruner which has become an instant industry favorite due to its lightweight design and extremely impressive cutting power. The needle nose design especially, combined with the sharpness of the blades allows for precise cuts, be it for trimming plants or for harvesting leaves or fruit, or for floristry.

Having delicious fresh fruit growing in their yard is something that most people are not able to access because of land or space restrictions. Fruit trees, the semi-dwarf variety that most people plant, will take from 5-7 years to begin to produce, with another three to five years to get to top production. Fruit trees are usually grafted.

Once you’ve invested in new fruit trees, you want to make sure you get them off to a good start. You’ll be able to do a good job with your fruit trees by following these steps: New fruit trees that arrive by mail are best left in their box, in a cool place, until you have time to plant them. The best holes for fruit trees are dug to fit the diameter and shape of the individual tree’s roots. This mixture is then placed around the new fruit tree’s roots.

Growing vegetables and fruits in hanging baskets frees up space in your garden (and on your back porch) so that you can grow even more plants in a small space. Maggie Saska, plant production specialist at the Rodale Institute , suggests vining crops whose fruits are light enough to handle the drooping action without breaking off, as well as smaller upright varieties. Hanging baskets aren't just for flowers. Save garden space by getting these crops off the ground.

When fall comes and my arms are not long enough to reach all the peaches, apples and pears on our trees, I turn to some homemade gadget or other to harvest that fruit. Ladders are great on flat, level surfaces, but nowhere on our mountain-side property is there a flat surface: Everything is a slope of some kind, and most of our fruit trees are on a steep slope. In the past I’ve used a mini-rake with a couple of pegs in a cross-bar on the end of a stick to pull fruit down.
