Comments on: Urban Homesteading: Harvesting Fruit From The Neighborhood http://www.urbanfarmhub.org/2010/03/urban-homesteading-harvesting-fruit-from-the-neighborhood/ Puget Sound's Urban Farming Resource Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:31:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Adam http://www.urbanfarmhub.org/2010/03/urban-homesteading-harvesting-fruit-from-the-neighborhood/comment-page-1/#comment-3043 Adam Wed, 04 Aug 2010 13:10:30 +0000 http://www.urbanfarmhub.org/?p=2419#comment-3043 I recently harvested my own ornamental kumquat tree - they make superb marmalade. I have bought four more which I will put in tubs. The obvious crop in my city (Cape Town) is lemons. There are ten trees on my block alone - none of them harvested, all of them essentially organic. Apart from lemon cordial, lemon juice, lemon curd and zest - do you have any ideas for what I could turn my city's lemons into?

Apart from lemon cordial, lemon juice, lemon curd and zest – do you have any ideas for what I could turn my city’s lemons into?

I also suggest that you get in touch with a local gleaning organization who can pick your fruit and donate it to area food banks or pantries. There are lots of urban gleaning orgs in Seattle, including: Community Fruit Tree Harvest: www.solid-ground.org/Programs/Nutrition/Lettuce/Pages/default.aspx City Fruit: www.cityfruit.org Community Harvest of Southwest Seattle: http://www.gleanit.org/ There is also the Small Potatoes Gleaning Project in Whatcom County.
