Welcome! First year, I planted around 20 fruit trees and many of them are not successful, but learned a lot and hopefully can harvest more fruits later. So everyone has the time of over head.
Welcome!
Some things will thrive and some will likely fail, and youāll let the fails go and keep the keepers and learn what works for you and what you like

Welcome!
Welcome aboard!
New to this forum, but recognize most of your user names from GW, reading your various posts over the years. Discovering this forum recently, I feel like Iāve tapped back into something pretty neat.
Iām not sure how or why I became hooked onto gardening. My dad did a bit and I enjoyed walking around our IL yard inspecting our lawn trees with him. I think the hook is that he took me fishing. I love being outdoors doing anything outdoorsy. Gardening fits the bill. My favorite gardening is wildlife gardening. Is that even a thing? I try to plant meadows and native stuff to feel like our home fits into the native landscape. I keep a decent vegetable garden. Iāve relocated my family a number times having left behind some nice gardens and sweet apple orchards in each place. I say sweet because I put in some very, very nice apple trees, but, I havenāt harvested more than a bushel of apples over several orchards. We moved before I could enjoy the trees each time.
My wife, three teenagers and I now live near Austin, TX. Looking to start another orchard, I am learning our location offers some unique challenges. Any suggestions? All are welcome. Iāll search around a bit, but may post something. Thank you.

Welcome!
Hi everyone. I joined a couple of days ago and am working my way through the posts. My name is Brenda and I live in a small town in Nebraska called Ashland. Itās about 30 miles from Omaha for reference. I have a teeny, tiny yard that I rent so I am growing in all containers. Iām currently growing blueberries, tomatoes, and strawberries. I mostly just drool and yearn over everyoneās fruit posts.
My dad is the grower in our family. He has two pear trees, two hazelnut trees, two brand new sour cherry trees, cukes, tomatoes, gooseberries, eggplants, sweet and hot peppers, and various herbs. I planted him some garlic, a rose to join the one that came with his property 40 years ago, and some honeysuckle. My mom can kill a plant by walking too close to it so we keep her out of the yard.
I am a supply inspector for the air force for my main job, Iāve been in the Army Reserves for almost 25 years now, and Iām a divorced mother of an energetic 9 year old and a sweet 4 year old so I stay VERY busy. My dream is to grow fruit trees and citrus (I know- Nebraska) canāt help it. Talk to you all soon!
