kevin1's place

Imagine my dilema , Data .
how'd you like to have the same problem X 2 ?

My place is the one nearest to the center of the pic . It's 10 acres of fairly thick woods bordered by 80 acres of fallow pasture/40% woods to the East , and about 20 acres of similar woods to the West . None of those get any pressure . The only other cover is windbreaks for at least a mile in any direction . My plot is 95% wooded , mostly white oak , about 15% red oak , a couple of persimmons , with the balance in non-mast trees such as red cedar and maple . I even have a seep on the back five , and plenty of downed tops where the property was logged a few years ago .

I plan to put in some more persimmons , along with hazelnut , beech , and chestnuts . Then I'll try to make room for some fruit trees , black and raspberrys , and possibly some muscadine grapes . All but the bramble fruits will be fertilized . I may also enlarge the seep into a small pond before I'm done . I toyed with the idea of honeysuckle , but it tends to be invasive like kudzu if not kept in check . Ideally , something will be coming into season at all times throughout the year . In about 5 years I'll be sitting in the middle of a nice honeyhole . Did I mention that not one of my neighbors hunt ?
