PEP = Permaculture Experience according to Paul.  He lives in a place where it grows and he loves black locust so that's why it's in here.

PEM = Permaculture Experience according to Mike (me).  I don't love black locust and it's illegal to plant in my area so it won't be in my badge program.

I chose black locust, apricot and black walnut for this bb. I had saved the seeds last year, and planted them this spring. Several of the plants are impressively large!

I'm so proud of this monster! I think she did well because of the Ruth Stout soil prep I did the year before
