Year 2 of Dr. Rudy's Food Forest

Year 2 was basically year 1 on steroids. More clearing, more bleds, more trees, and higher production. As with the first year, most of the production (about 99%) came from annal plants. The annuals included fava beans, shown in two of the photos. The relatively modest contribution from trees and perennial bushes consisted of about 5 pounds of figs and about 2 pounds of blueberries and blackberries.
