Hallo Nelson and All It all sounds like a very good setup, including the weather snow 1 or 2 days, whish I was there. Here today are cold nearly snow, and clearing stone wall and fencing weather.
I like to pest you with some more ? of "Sheep and figs". What abut nutrients, companion planting and pest problems ? And water must be an issue.? Are the sheep introduced after Harvest of the figs, or after the turnips are ready ? If sheep's are not present at all times in this orchard dos the principal cut the hay/grasses ? Do they have any mulch helping/adding with the soil and keep the water longer in the root zone? ( If mulch what type ?) Queenberries sound very interesting but what is it ??
