We planted more nuts and berries along various fences and property lines. In the illustration below, the older trees are shown in green, though I planted the river birches on the south and the locusts and redbuds on the east 10-12 years ago. The newer plantings are shown in red. The peach, blackberry, goji berry, honeyberry bushes and pawpaw trees were planted last year. The raspberry was planted this spring and the rest (filbert, jostaberry, elderberries and apples were planted yesterday and today. Drat. I forgot to put in the fig, which is in line with the peach tree about a yard from the house.
We planted the filberts and jostaberries in the general part of the backyard which the dogs have access to. Since they love to carry sticks around and gnaw on them and these new plants bear a distressing resemblance to sticks at the moment, we built a small fenced area to protect them, which I am calling a canine exclusion zone or CEZ. I was amazed at how easily the post pounder put the posts in the ground. It gives me hope for the other projects I have in mind involving posts. Namely a canine containment center (CCC) on the west side of the property.

Most of the plants growing in front of the CEZ are lambs' quarters. Future soup material.
