Now that the garden is maturing, I have 123 kilogram fruits a year, every year increasing. In between I have lots of flowerbulbs and clematisplants. I conserved some 340 pots with mostly jam. I may not have so many fruittypes as you have, but I only have a back and front garden. In 2025 I hope to make my own wine. I have a Bed and Breakfast for hikers and bikers in the Netherlands.

Anything special you're doing to grow the orange and avocado trees in your hardiness zone?

[@koreymayo8884]

I wish they would've explained how they're growing citrus fruits in zone 7! Also I guess the only thing they aren't growing is nut trees.
