I am impressed with the thoroughness of this plan and the quality of the illustrations. What did you use to make them?
Also it seems there is already an abundance of food producing plants on the property.

Thank you dear @canadianrenegade. I used scanned hand drawings and colorized them in Photoshp. The layout was done in Illustrator.
About the existing food abundance.... maybe the words are missleading, but the olive trees are "wild" olive trees producing tiny olives, that have a very thin layer of flesh around the seed. Not worthy of even trying to eat or process then. I do hope though to grapft proper producing species on these trees. The oaks are not eatible as well. they are extremely bitter, as I tried them several times. But maybe we could get around with roasting / leaching the tannins out..
What about the stone pines do they produce pine nuts? Maybe I am thinking of the Swiss stone pine?
Also the Blackberries?
Oh, ok. Your right. The stone oine nuts are edible and delicous. Yet the ammount of work involved makes it not ver nutritional..
And sadly the wild Backberries are extremely small and about 70%-80% seeds...
Hmm, I guess I was thinking more along the lines of the cultivated varieties. It is the same here. The wild hazelnuts are about the size of a pinky finger nail compared to the cultivated varieties that are thumb nail sized. The wild raspberries and strawberries are also significantly smaller.
Hey, I did a post about my planned earthworks for this year that includes a topo map and some other stuff. If you still wanted to check it out that would be great!
