my property is a little under 1/4 acre. I started out with raised beds when we bought it in 2009 then have sheet mulched a few areas to add additional planting space. all trees but the pear are dwarf varieties, the pear tree was there when we move in and with a little care I was able to get 210lbs of pears last season.

I planted marigolds in alternating holes last year and I will probably do the same this year. I will probably put some thyme and cilantro in some of the holes as well.
the methley plum is self pollinating according to the nursery I got it from, but there are several mexican plum trees in the neighborhood and I am planning on planting one as well.
