Allen,
Yes, part of the blackberry & plum thicket removal will be for pasture. Right
now, however, we're trying to get a yard half-way established around the
house. I've been trimming up some of the trees and they're beginning to look
good. Yesterday I found a volunteer native pecan tree and a volunteer pear
tree. I felt like I'd struck gold!!
We plowed & tilled up garden space (pulling out all of the underground roots)
and I planted four rows of condtender beans, two rows of purple onions, three
rows of Kennebec potatoes, three kinds of squash, two kinds of cucumbers and
a row of French breakfast radishes. I have asparagus crowns waiting to go
into the ground.
There are many birds on the property and we enjoy them immensely...guess
those blackberries and plum thickets are not a total loss!
Thanks,
Vicki
