In fairness, we do have a pretty cool yard. We've got a small artificial pond, things my dad calls "pocket prairies" (that are half conservation and half an excuse not to mow those areas), and fruit trees we basically ignore. We have two pear trees and three apple trees, and none of us is interested in canning or making pies at home. Plus, late summer we're usually overrun with tomatoes. Someone take away all this produce!
