My maternal grandparents had several fruit trees in their backyard, back when I was a kid. Peach - apricot (to this day apricots are my favourite fruit) - plum - grew their own vegies, raised chooks. Their neighbour had a fig tree which Nanna Davis was given free reign to pick.

This wasn't a farm, it was a block of land in a (much smaller then than now) country town.

And, of course, there was a choko vine.
