We've been in our house 35 yrs and almost to the point we have no business taking the responsibility of home ownership. I've been fretting over the fact most of my suburban yard is "victory garden" with raised beds and home buyers seem to want grass so chemicaled it looks like expensive astroturf.

so if you want to plant fruit, plant fruit. If the next inhabitants let it go to crap at least the birds and squirrels will eat well.
Hugs.
