Awesome. Glad to hear. Either way, your property is amazing. Planning on a food forest?

Eventually. I've got lots of fruit trees and shrubs scattered around, but it will be awhile before they really develop. The two mature mulberries are males, but there are three smaller females. There is a very large crabapple that I grafted edible apples and pears to this spring, so I hope to get a few next year.
My driveway wraps around the house in a U with another section coming off to go to the garage. I plan on ripping almost all of that out and planting around 20 fruit trees.

Just read your post on ethics and what you want from the sub. Glad I came across v/justgrowit. Your ethics are pretty much spot on with mine, and I'm lucky to have found a place to share my projects and help others. I'll have to put together a couple of posts on some basic companion plants and guilds that even people with small yards can stick in a corner somewhere with little maintenance. We need more people doing this kind of thing.

I absolutely agree. Thank you for coming on board and contributing. When I came to Voat I noticed a lack of content in v/gardening so I made my own subverse. I would have taken over v/permaculture but with it being so niche, I figured most people would be receptive to the idea of growing anything, just grow it!
