Caring about the earth, that is what it's about.

Thanks! Some trees were planted 5 years ago such as the cherry trees as a useful shade for the chickens. Most of the plants are only 2 years old now since that's when I decided to make it into a food forest.
btw, I saw in your profile you do some veg gardening as well. Got any trees?
No fruit trees, although I might try planting some next year. There will be a number of food, uh, shrubs, I guess, going into my native plant garden that I'm excited about, like serviceberry and salal!
Serviceberry is nice! Do you got any cultivars or the botanic species?
I was considering a dwarf cultivar to keep it small-garden sized, but I haven't put too much though into it yet.
