Now, I am on a roll
Went out an took 3 pics of the first - front
hugel. I guess it might grow into a food forest some day. it is close and partly shaded by a jacaranda tree (nitrogen fixer and upper story). A lemon tree seems to love it toward the street side, a grape looks pretty good. I am hoping it will eventually arch over to the jacaranda, creating a entrance of sorts. One out of 3 blueberries is still alive (I buried a bunch of pine
trees on the side I planted the blueberries, hoping this will make it acidic
enough for them). Potatoes did initially good, but all died. I first tried not to
water at all, but that didn't seem to work.....Squash, sweet potatoes, Horse radish, chard and mint have been the best survivors. also new zealand spinach is starting to do good, lettuces and wildflowers have come and gone. Beets and turnips and a bunch of herbs like it. I did kill at least 3 suramata cherry plants. probably
should have waited for the 2nd year. Going to try it again......the first picture above was in the middle of May, the ones I am posting now are from today.
