Description

Not sure how to describe this. I think the land might be ideal for either grapes or lavender, but just about anything should grow. We've had good success with raspberries and blackberries until the mile-a-minute took over. There is a blueberry cage that needs repair. The blueberries have done well. Grapes, concord and another type have done very well. The apple trees and grapevines have been sprayed, I think with an organic. We grew asparagus for years, but that bed is now defunct.
