Glad you liked our group, and mapping project! If you have unwanted fruit in your yard (mostly Somerville and Cambridge, MA), we harvest it, can it, and return 10% of the product to you. Even if you don’t have your own fruit, you can help us harvest and process the fruit to share in the bounty. Email us at urbanapplesauce@gmail.com to get involved.

I love the League of Urban Canners concept! I know of a huge pear tree that drops beautiful pears on the ground every fall… I must remember to check it this year. Sounds like a good fair. Urban agriculture is such a rich frontier right now, as well it should be.

I wish I was closer to where that beer is made.

Thanks for the support, ladies! (And for the awesome plants, Laura…)

Eleanor, I hope so too–though I live in a neighborhood largely populated by old Italian families, so there are tomato plants and grapevines just about everywhere you look, in old drywall buckets set out on pavement or crawling up chainlink fences or swarming a garage roof. I love it. And thanks for the trellis cloth idea, what a good product.

I love your porch garden! It’s come along very nicely in even just the few weeks since I last saw it – kudos!

This is so exciting! What a great experiment. I think you could do the beans by hanging a sort of curtain, tied taut to the railing, made of trellis cloth. It’s made of nylon twine, with big squares, about 6 inches square. I love what you’re doing. You’re really proving that it’s possible to raise some good food in a tiny urban space. I hope your neighbors are taking notice!

Yay, they’re doing so well! Nice job! Esp. the cuke (which btw is called a mexican sour gherkin), doing amazing, even in the small pot. It is fascinating to watch grow, isn’t it? Mine keeps reaching for the nearby rose canes—i think it really wants to go up the roof!

A delicious story, and your photos are beautiful. Isn’t it interesting how entangled food, place and good memories become? You’ve made me curious about Ithaca!
