Congrats on finding a buyer. I hope your next place has a yard large enough for a proper 200 square foot garden & 200+ square foot orchard. Don't forget to check the new land using FEMA & USDA maps. An example: my land has 6-15 inches of soil above the water table but my neighbors 300ft away have 0 inches of soil above the water table.
When you said you were moving I laughed...only because I'm thinking about selling and I think we have the same house. I bought an Allegro but in the east Austin location and just a couple of weeks ago I saw how your neighborhood appreciate in value similar to mine. Congrats to you and your wife.
Well I hope that yall are able to find property that accommodates both the house size and land that is desired! The way I see gardening is that it's a food provider and food security so I see them both as important but might lean a taaaaad more to the gardening side lol. And you can start over with all the knowledge gained over your time there, so that sounds like a better start to me.
Avocados are apparently naturally an understory plant, so you can give it too much sun. Above 90 degrees the stomata close and you can start burning leaves (googled that cause i had one). The grower told me that after 5 years in the customer's landscape, it could do full TX sun. I had to build a shade cloth for mine because the leaves were burning. Post polar vortex, I have given up.
I really want to, but we have to leave the property as is, so we have to say goodbye to everything that’s in ground. I will definitely acquire some new banana trees and get started ASAP!
Ahhhhh your small peach tree .. yea it’s not coming back. when you start over make sure the area you plant the peach tree is well draining.. as root rot likely killed your peach tree due to to wet conditions were it’s planted.

Appreciate you Bob, I’ll keep that in mind!

Such a small world! Hope you enjoy your new home
Alternative title: last backyard orchard tour until new house!
Congrats on selling the house and can't wait to see where you end up next!
Appreciate you! I’ll keep posting

Agreed! I’m excited for what the future holds

That’s great advice! I think I’ll move it
Oh you should dig up the bananas and take them with you!

Sadly, I agree, I figure at this point because we’re going to be moved out in 30 days, it might as well be what it is
