Re: Checking if node has data

     <xsl:if test="mygarden/fruits = ''">
    <!-- evaluates to true if node fruits does not contain data -->

Not really, it evaluates to true if its string value is empty
so it would be true for
<mygarden><fruits><apples/></fruits><mygarden>


To test if the element is non empty use

     <xsl:if test="mygarden/fruits/node()">
