RE: 🌺 Hive Community Garden Journal Challenge - April

I will eventually post an entry about our garden. It is not your ordinary average vegetable garden.

It is almost 12 acres, registered as a tree farm with the county tax office. That gives us a huge AG tax break. In the area of $1500.00 per year.

They are Loblolly Pines. A garbage tree in my opinion. Weak, bug magnets, that drop constant fire hazard needles and debris. And harvested for pulp wood at a pathetic average of a dollar a tree 15 years later.... Smfh https://www.coniferousforest.com/loblolly-pine.htm

I also planted 200+ cedar junips nearly 20 years ago. With only 1% loss. They are a property line, wind break, natural privacy fence. I have several black walnuts, 50% loss. And 8 maples that my father potted and sent down from Pennsylvania 1000 miles north of our farm in N. FLA. USA. They (maples/walnuts) have not done well in the sandy, insect ridden, nutrition starved soil.

My Wife @pooky-jax and I have a deck covered in plants, and My Fave of all are the 2 Cypress at the far end of our pond. Pond Full 201934.jpeg

I will sometime in the future enter one of your garden post contests with every intention of winning.... LoL..... Or at least getting a runner up spot.

Until then I send You my love and appreciation for what You have done for me in the past, You @simplymike @janton and @galenkp are the only reasons I am still here. And I am Soooo glad for that. As I really enjoy my time on here. And the quality people from all over I have met.
