Hi all!
Recently I have begun (began?) trying to homestead. 3 years ago I was a plant killer-ferns, flowers, peppers, you name it- I could kill it. After ALOT of practice (and endless faith by my fiancé-despite the turn over rate) I have successfully began to grow my garden! To give you an idea what I'm growing (so you can see what I'm successfully working with): raspberry bush, broccoli, romaine, Danvers Carrot, bloomsdale spinach, burpless cucumber, kale, cilantro, golden potatoes, not sure what kind of tomato, asparagus. I am wondering what first fruit trees would you reccomend? I know it takes YEARS to bear fruit so I would love to start them ASAP. I ideally would like to keep them potted for at least 2 years (we plan to buy 5+ acres within two years where I'd like to plant the tree to continue growing). I do not mind if it has to stay potted forever but my intentions are potting for the first few years until they can happily go into the ground. I am VERY open to anything and everything as we love EVERYTHING lol. We plan to stay in NC/SC area so that being our range of temps yearly. I am going to be building a small/medium walk in greenhouse. I usually shop at Home Depot but recently a nursery has opened up over an hour away and I plan to make that trip soon!
