My priority is to plant some edible perrenials next spring. Fruit trees like apple, pear, persimmon, and grape vines are on the list. I need more noninvasive ideas. Food for people, goats, and/or poultry.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I couldn't live (well, as enjoyably) w/o garlic/chives.
I believe you can grow plums there.

They were just little roots I believe. Maybe with a crown? It's been awhile. We have a 50' row my son uses to "treat" the goats or gives them when they are sick.
