I love reading your posts as I learn so much about the city I always wanted to call home but never did (now I just visit a lot). This reminds me of our community gardens program in Boston that my organization operates. They are such great examples of on-the-ground impact driven mostly by immigrant communities.
I learned so much from this post. As a historian, I thought of the now-classic work by environmental historian William Cronon, called *Nature's Metropolis,* about the interdependence of a city and its hinterlands in 19th-century Chicago--it's a big, doorstop of a book about the expansion of market relations and capitalism, about the city's place in nature and nature's place in the city... and lots more. Thanks for another great post.
You were surprised chicken had feet, and I was gobsmacked at age 6 when I discovered a leaf on a blueberry. It inspired a discussion with my dad about how fruit grows on BUSHES and TREES.

What is the one legal fruit bearing tree allowed in nyc? Seems like a good trivia question
The Serviceberry tree! Technically not the only fruit-bearing tree but the only one with edible fruit (for people anyways)
