Hello everyone!
I'm the Mushroom Man from up north!
I have a strong passion of combining Permaculture (edible & permanent landscape), vegetable gardening as well as incorporating mushrooms in most everything I plant. I've been a 'renter' my entire life and never been able to indulge myself on a permanent growing basis. Hopefully that will all change in the next month or two (attempting to close on a new house with a nice size back yard)
I did plant a Permaculture Food Forest this year, and if I say so myself, I didn't do to bad. The one thing I didn't come into grips with before planting was the location/geography of where it was going. The planting season was short and the frost was absolutely unpredictable. So I sold the land up north and moved closer to the Michigan/Canadian border. Here we have a planting zone of 6B...unlike up north where it was 3A.
Well, I had to sell the land of North in order to purchase this new property. But I do have permission from the new owner to dig up my 6 dwarf fruit trees (pairs, apples and cherries) as well as all of my grape vines (6), berry bushes (9) and an assortment of perennial plants (various edible varieties).
I'm looking forward to being part of this new community!
