RE: Pennsif's Progress - The Days are Numbered // Day 951 : Plums away!
Congratulations on the plan to have 100 fruit trees. All the same variety or mixed? We have about 45 different types of trees on our homestead, mostly fruit mixed with ornamentals and shades.
We've quite a few different ones - various apples, pears, plums, cherries, greengauge. As well as a few more interesting (and challenging for Wales) ones like medlar, quince, apricot, nectarine, peach, kiwi, fig... And in the conservatory and new greenhouse we also have two oranges and two lemons. We have had a number of lemons but no oranges so far.
We have lemons, limes, figs, kumquats, bananas, plantain, passion fruit, coconut, papaya, mango, grapes, and pomegranate. We also have Sabo, Guanacaste, neem, eucalyptus, Ylang Ylang, and other assorted shade trees. This is going to be the first year we are trying out raised beds for our vegatable garden. We are also experimenting with peanuts as a ground cover. So far so good...
Wow, an impressive selection. I guess the weather is a bit better in Nicaragua than in Wales 😊
