Yesterday I ran across someone selling muscadines outside the dollar store in this rural Alabama town. I made the rounds to see what fruit plants I could find. I wound up with 1 brown turkey fig, 1 Wonderful pomegranate, 3 rabbiteye blueberries, and two muscadine grapes.

Also someone offered to send me seeds for persimmon and paw paws.

So that's the start of a pretty substantial fruit orchard. My place already has several 100 year old pecan trees planted when my house was built back in 1900.

I plan to plant the blueberries in a hedgerow that will divide my backyard into two smaller spaces. As for the other plants, I still haven't decided. Their basic requirement is good soil and sun-sun-sun.
