1st picking of fava beans. 4 lbs.

I have the challenge of too much space, and would like to create a mini homestead that will be functional as we age, meaning easier care, and relatively compact spacing. Though I am open to anyone's ideas and experience with this. I would love to hear your favorites for fruit trees. I have 2 areas that would work for a small orchard. And I cannot seem to picture where to put Raspberries and Blueberries, which I adore. I am thinking high bush blueberries.

Having compost at the right time is essential, and you really don't know if it's good until you start to use it .

Update photos of our earl seedlings 🌱 @Alicia Van Zeeland Question 🙋‍♂️ does very hard water in the home have an affect on soil or plant 🪴?

The small veg plots is now planted with the First part of succession ; baby leaf salad , radish and sugar snap peas. There's also carrots, spring onions and leeks direct sown . The second part , next week is planting in the interspacing and then the week after the last part is sowing in the interspacing, so the soil is 100% covered. As crops are havested the holes are filled with new plants or sowings just until the weather is too hot .
