What do you have in your food forest so far? When my dad lived with us he always kept a veggie garden, I'm thinking of trying to bring something like that back.

I have a handful of apples and peaches bearing fruit. Yeilded 50 peaches and about 5 apples. The trees are 8 years old now, planted when they were 4.

Also hundreds of raspberry canes and strawberry plants. About 7 grape vines at year 5.

Top setting onions (walking onions). Parsnip, leaks, potatoes, lettuce, raddish, and snow peas.

Have some Wineberry and autumn olives that pioneeres on my land.

I'm hoping my 8 year old plum trees and 5 year old pawpaws bare fruit.

I'm my living room I have about 250 tomato plants, 50 eggplants, few hundred hot peppers.
