As I go into the new property I of course am thinking of fruit trees, right? I have more space. I can actually plan to cultivate and select these, but I still want to be efficient with my space.

I don't want to just spam fruit trees across the whole orchard and say, okay, well, that's it.

I only have 17 trees or whatever the case may be I want to grow a lot of varieties

and instead of having a ton of let's say one type of avocado I'd rather have much less of

multiple types spread out throughout the course of a year and that would be the same for my stone fruits or my apples, whatever I'm planting.

So I've stumbled across a method called Backyard Orchard Culture.

Comes out of Dave Wilson Nursery and it's fantastic for both myself and I think you'll really enjoy the methodology as well.

Now I'm certainly far from an expert. I've only

recently become aware of the strategy, but I think it's going to be a winner. Now here's what you do.

You plant multiple varieties of the same fruit. Let's take

avocados. Right now I have a Haas avocado coming in and I also have a bacon avocado coming in and I'm trying to find a Pinkerton

avocado. The reason why, first of all avocados have A and B types.

Haas is an A and bacon is a B, I believe.

And so now I have good pollination.

But at the same time, Haas fruits from March to October and bacon fruits from September to January.

So if you think about that timeline, I've got March through the next January

that I'm going to have consistent avocado supply.

So now I've stretched out. that I'm going to have consistent avocado supplies.

So now I've stretched out my harvest

so I'm not flush with avocados for one part of the year

and the rest of it I'm hungry for that avocado toast maybe.

I can't be having that. I need my avocado toast 24-7.
