farming is not easy. I sell started plants in the spring. Peppers, tomatoes, herbs, strawberries etc.

cottonwood and willow trees suck up water, I would stay away from them.

do you use greenhouse? or outside?

so far all I have done is cloning trees... figs mostly, but I also did some willow and cottonwood trees. A few grapes, sugar cane and some other random things.

I am going to try a bunch of stuff and see what works best in greenhouse

Any ideas?

Around here the thornless blackberry bushes are selling like crazy. Also privacy trees

I can sell strawberry plants all day and they practically grow themselves // an adult cottonwood will suck up like 500 gallons a day from what i have read and a willow over 100. why raise up trees that depletes the water but are essentially no good. not a good use of resources. you need to think like a farmer if you want to be a farmer.

I grow everything outside. I start in covered clear tubs like mini greenhouses

I live in an area called Cottonwood Canyon... Nothing but giant willows, cottonwoods, and oaks. Good for native habitats but thats about it. Shade trees basically.

I agree though, I am a big fan of growing edible things. Beneficial to humans and more profitable.

I was thinking about growing fodder for my chickens or to sell for livestock to local feed stores.
I also thought about doing some hipster stuff like microgreens.

My neighbors grows tons of the boysenberries and gave me a few... It was developed in California not too far from me. Locally popular because of Knotts Berry Farm amusement park. I could sell the clones all day I bet.

I am wondering if you know what could be a cause for a fuel pump going bad on a vehicle. Hasn't been a whole year since I got my last new one.

Or could it be one of many things that would cause it to crap out?
