We're planing on talking to the park manager about trees, because we want a lemon, apple, and orange trees. There is someone that lives here that has a couple of grape vines and some people have turned their entire lot into one huge garden. We got three bulbs of garlic just for planting. Right now, our Mister Lincoln rose bushes are thriving in our clay heavy soil; our blackberries are kinda stunted right now (I hope it doesn't go into shock :( ), and my Valentine's day tulips are not doing so well as they had fallen from where they were hanging.

I don't have experience with lemon trees, but if they smell as nice as apple and orange trees do while they're growing, then your property will really be enjoyable to walk around. ^_^

My grandparents are farmers so there were all sorts of fruit trees around their farm. Partly because of this my dad loves growing plants, it's a passion of his. I think the most notable thing he grew was a mango tree in Uganda although I'm not sure when he first planted, all I know is it's mangoes are delicious.

I've actually never tried a mango before, but they do look good. 

That's cool that your family has a tradition of growing stuff. It seems like an increasingly rare skill as the generations move forward... I can remember when everyone on our street used to have their own gardens, but I think only maybe two or three people still bother with them anymore. It's kind of sad, actually.
