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
