    My love of reefkeeping goes with my love for growing things in general.
    Tonight we planted
    Cherry
    Apple
    Nectarines
    Peaches
    Plums
    Pears
    Grapes
    Blue Berries
    Strawberrys
    Asparagus
    Almond
    Chestnut
    Hazelnut
    English Walnut
    Pecans
    Earlier in the week we finished planting 400 pines.
    The regular garden will follow in a couple weeks.  I think it will be about an acre this year.  So if anyone likes fresh fruits & vegetables hit me up in a couple months.

    I wish you the best of luck on all things, especially the pine trees. We cant keep the deer out of our smaller pines. There are acres, and acres of other trees, but the deer always pick on the young pines. The young pines have 6ft fencing and the large bucks still got to a few of them! Have replanted several years in a row trying to get a windbreak!! Sounds like you will have a great variety.

    good luck

    I rented a 20x50ft garden across the street from me. I plan on planting stuff to make salsa along with green beans, lettuce, cucumbers, and watermelon.
    I'm jealous of all the fruit you're planting.

    I am in the greens industry and will be getting my degrees in things related. I get my Landscape Maintenance degree this spring and my Turfgrass managment degree next December. So you could say I have green thumbs
