I've already got some fruit trees planted here. Cherries and plumbs. The birds get ALL of the cherries....bummer. The plumbs produce every other year, and are very tastey. I nearly cried when my new neighbor moved in next door, and ran out first thing with a chainsaw, and cut down 90% of their apple tree orchard the former owners had planted. Being in such a rotten plant zone is the only thing that stops me. I'm in plant zone 4, borderline 3. In other words, we have loooong, very coooold winters. There's just a ton of stuff that will not grow here. I've only been here three years, so I'm still learning. By the way, along with the perminant type plantings/gardens that fruit and nut trees are, people should not forget rubarb, artichockes, asparagas, many herbs, berry bushes and plants, and a smattering of other perminant type garden plants. ~Garnet Homesteading/Farming over 20 years
Commercial gardening is a lot different from home gardening. I make my living from 5 acres of market garden so you can see size is different but also we plant crops pretty much constantly from Feb through September so we can keep the harvests coming. For example a home garden will pretty much be planted in a day whereas we will plant carrots, green beans, sweet corn, lettuce, etc at least 5 or 6 times over the summer so as one crop of lettuce is harvested another crop of lettuce is about ready to be harvested.
