apple trees... but I guess that comes under gardens. Also, I think ducks are much nicer than chickens - mind you, I don't know anything at all about raising any kind of living food supply, so ducks might be an enormous hassle.
ReplyDeletefruit orchards...of course! i knew i was forgetting something and, silly me, we already have some apple and cherry trees to boot!
