My biggest, and somewhat on going mistake, is that I think I need 10 plants when 3 or 4 would be enough. So then I'm harvesting way more of everyting and finding people to take the extra's. I just love growing the stuff, but really, I need to get a handle on this. I have reduced my garden size a lot over the years, to force me to make better choices about how much I grow, but it's an on-going problem for me. The local food pantry loves me though!
This problem extends to my orchard too. I have 5 Apple trees, when one would do me just fine, 3 cherry trees, 4 Apricot trees, 2 peach trees, and one pear tree. I have another peach coming this fall. I NEED HELP!
