I live in Western PA (Butler County) and have been into fruits and vegetable gardening for the past 20 years. I grow peaches, plums, apples, cherry, pear, grapes, blueberries as well as maintaining 3 vegetable gardens. We also raise chickens and rabbits (also the occasional turkeys and pigs) that help improve the garden soil and provide food. Its alot of work but I love every bit of it.
