Maybe check the university. I guess not all universities have the agricultural resources I expect from my exposure to LSU and UC Davis, but they do likely have trees.

Pantries just seem like such a good idea. And yet, I don't think my vague plans to annex the living room as additional kitchen space include a pantry. Hm.

I've always wanted a pantry. It's like a walk-in closet for your kitchen! What's not to love? Speaking of which, I've always wanted a walk-in closet too.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I would love a pantry. I keep wanting to can and preserve food, but there's really nowhere in my apartment to put it.

County Extension Service for an arborist? They're generally bored and eager to talk to the locals about plants.

I had a walk-in closet as a kid - the room my sister and I shared had one. It was great, even shared. I feel like I must have had a pantry somewhere, but I have lived so many places, I'm not sure. Maybe I just stayed with someone who had one? I am pretty sure my grandmother had one and it was terrific.

I think I just got a cat. My great grand boss has a friend whose partner's dog chases her 3-year-old cat, so cat needs a home and I am a sucker especially when it comes to calicos. I am hoping the adult cat will not piss of my elderly cats as much as a new kitten would.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A walk-in closet would be a dream.

Yay calico cat!

My apartment is pretty old-school, so all the closets are small, but there is great built-in storage around three sides of what I think is the practical chimney (not connected to the fireplace).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We have a pantry, and it's wonderful. At first glance, the kitchen looks like it has adequate cabinets, but in spite of ruthless culling when we moved, there's no cupboard space for food-so, yay, pantry! Also, infrequently used (but often enough to keep) appliances and oversized bowls and stock pots.

Jesse, I could use some of your wall space. I'm constantly threatening to build another room, just for more space to hang stuff.

Compassionately intolerant

I tried that. All I got was this green dude and I think he was inappropriate with the local deer.

Heh.

Such good suggestions here, Zen.

I have had great conversations with DC's chief arborist, so I'm partial to the idea of checking with the city.

That person is likely to have local history under their belt in terms of the varieties that dwell best in your region.

I'm envious of the pantry talk. It's probably better that I don't have one though, given the ease of expanding to fit more cupboards!
