So, you’ve graduated from a pot of herbs on the sill to a backyard plot of heirloom tomatoes, multi-hued peppers, zucchini (so much zucchini!) and pudgy little cukes. Maybe you’ve even ventured into potatoes and asparagus. Ready yet for next-level agronomy? I’ve got you covered.
We put in a oouple of filberts courtesy of Arlington County. However, the squirrels are eating the blossoms that would have become nuts. Well, I don't love filberts anyway.
I have beaten the deer and the squirrels to 2 pawpaws in 19 years. Mulberries aren’t very tasty unless you’re a groundhug. But rejoice if you find a few fresh puffballs or a stand of the terrible invasives, garlic mustard and wine berries!
I'd add that this could be less work than the regular vegetable garden since the plants are perennials. Also, there may be ways to make the area need less weeding maybe.

The least they could do is wait for the nuts to emerge. The nerve!
But then they risk that some other squirrel will get there first.
Yes! I love this. Thank you for enlightening us.

BTW, I thought the mulberries I tried tasted good. Maybe I'm a groundhog at heart.
Groundhug.
Sounds like your pawpaws are pawpular!

Yes, I think you're right on both counts, CC.
