Year 3 of Dr. Rudy's Food Forest

Year 3 started with snow on the ground, which was followed by kittens, more huglekultur beds, and more planting of fruit trees and berry bushes. Production was again higher than the previous year, with about 99% coming from annual plants. Production from trees and bushes consisted of about 25 pound of figs, about 4 pounds of blackberries and I think less than one pound of blueberries. The latter have proven to be temperamental. In addition, the birds helped themselves to some of the blueberries.
