    Ashleigh, Thank you for your article(s). You present the information very well and make it clear to “newbies” like me. I hope you will continue to write these. I am looking for a property with a larger area to garden where I can create a “food forest”. I have 2 issues that I struggle with, first proper watering and how to protect my harvest from deer, rabbits, etc.?? Maybe one of your future articles could address these. Thank you again!

    Nice article on creating a food forest. If more front lawns were food forests, it would be a better use of our limited resources, like water, and perhaps we would have less food insecurity.
