New this year for me: four blueberry bushes, two thornless raspberries, one thornless blackberry, a goji berry bush, two dwarf cherries, a fig tree, an elderberry tree, and some sunchokes. Also redoing a sizable portion of my drip irrigation. I wanted to rip my maypop vine out and put a self fertile kiwi in its place but time slipped away from me.
I always do the usual tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, onions, herbs, pollinator flowers, etc.. Putting in a new 2 foot by 20 foot raised bed as well for more annuals. Weirdest annual I’m trying this year is a tromboncini squash that’s supposed to be vine borer resistant.
My pluot tree is starting to put out its first fruit this year, so that’s also exciting.
My yard is less than a quarter of an acre, so I’m definitely getting close to all I can fit in it.
That’s quite the amount of fruit trees! The wife doesn’t want more, she doesn’t want all the critters that come with them unfortunately.
I want to install an in ground system, but I’ve also never heard of anyone here doing it. I’m sure the pipes would get water infiltrated and burst during the winter. Cant winterize them the same way you can sprinkler systems.
