we got 2 apples, 2 plums, 2 pawpaws, an almond and  a 2-in-1 cherry.

gonna put a siberian pea shrub in the hole with each tree for nitrogen fixation.

The cherry is gonna go on the other side of the property near my existing 2 yr old sweet cherry.  I'll put 3 goumi shrubs with them.

Still debating where to plant the seaberries and honeyberry plants. I dont think they're going into the swale system. I may have to dig another one on the sunny side of the garden since seaberries like the full sun.  The lower swale in the picture  is protected from the hottest part of the western sun, so the pawpaws should do well there since they're really an understory tree.

I got mine at Stark brothers nursery.

 

I believe you can order them from Jonathan Bates (Paradise Lot) also:

I do but haven't done much with it lately. I'm hoping to be more active with it this spring.
I shut down the internet at home so I have to go to town to do any real work with that.
It is hard to do on a phone!

I rebuilt a garden bed today

I really liked the cinder block idea that someone had posted so I'm going to start rebuilding some of my beds that way. I'm on a hill so it will work well on the down side.
