"Learn something new every day!"  With a name like that, I would have thought that it was an apple! 🍎 😄

Love this thread @DJ aka GDR DJ! Great variety of fresh fruit and veggies!

 

Just a question, do you use fertilizer? And how often? Or is the ground there just really good for producing your foods?

i make my own compost and fetch compost in spring for the ground.  for the strawberries i use extra organic berries fertilizer (bio) and for the potatoes blue grain fertilizer

 

 

example for organic berries fertilizer

I do also composting on my yard (actually needed or need to have separate pin and pay for emptying it) so I have own compost for plants and stuff. That apple tree will be cut off after last apples collected, was damaged by snow fooling from pine next to it. Yesterday did eat some blueberry's from own backyard plants.
