The land on which I live is a mix of sloped lawn, shaded lawn, clay-heavy soil, with a few trees on it. The most prominent tree is in the backyard: a giant male mulberry tree.

The “garden” consists of approximately 5 raised (not very high) beds, with a small hugelkulture pile in progress ( as of April 2019 ).

Also part of the garden is a very small collection of fruit trees growing near each other (a “micro-orchard”), and some more fruit trees which I planted around the property. These were either bare-root trees or purchased from a local nursery, and unfortunately I did not have the skills to start fruit trees from seed at the time.
