Not only are the gardens of Vancouver BC filled with an assortment of absolutely delicious edible fruits, vegetables and herbs but the micro-farmers are generous and friendly. This fig fresh off the tree was the most juicy I have ever had.

Another happy old Chinese farmer gave me a couple of chokos from his harvest, one of them sprouted and it is now growing eagerly up the wall in my bedroom.

The gardeners of Vancouver are also avid composters and many of them have arranged nice environments around their compost barrel, many growing mint and other fresh smelling herbs.
