I have just a little fruit farm. It is on the south side of my garage and measures 30 x 8 feet. It is i/3 blueberries, (3 plants and I am going to put in three more), 2/3 raspberries. The raspberries are going on the third year and I plan to get a bumper crop from that patch and now I am going to have to dig some up early next spring because they want to take over the place. I also have two cherry trees, to small to produce yet and a grape vine that is four years old and I finally found out, (figured out) that you have to spend a little time with the grape and give it a good arbor. Have that done now, thanks to "You Tube" and it looks like we will get several baskets of grapes this fall. Love all that home ground fruit. Also have tomatoes in grow boxes and four types of peppers hanging upsidedown on the deck in those topsyturvy grow baskets. The peppers don't look real happy upsidedown, but they are putting on little peppers. I also plan to put in two peach trees next spring. We have some "you pick" in the area, but not very much, though it is not much of a drive to go the the fruit area of Michigan to get about anything you want.
