In the Fall of 2021, I started planting things in the yard of a home in North Carolina. I was brought to this home because I had a strong desire to have enough space to create a backyard food forest.
The house sits on a .75 acre lot and gets a lot of sunshine. It's pretty flat. The soil is mostly clay. When I first got there, it was all covered by the all-powerful bermuda grass, spreading through its rhizomes all around the neighborhood.
This is how it looks in the summer of 2025, heading into it's 4th growing season.
