We are purchasing some rural property for recreation in the Shenandoah Valley. DS has developed an interest in gardening and we’ve been talking about what we could plant that would do ok on its own without daily or weekly management. We’ve talked about nut trees and fruit trees, but wondered what else might do well. Squash? Beans?
We’ve also wondered how much effort to put into planting vs protection from raccoons, deer, and bears. Planting a hedge of berries is kind of like setting up a buffet, isn’t it? Would we even get to enjoy any of it if not there regularly?
