i think we call that guerilla gardening/orchard land.<<<

Yes, it is begging for perennial and self seeding plants.

Look at the ledges and top sides of the washes, they are often good spots for a few plants.

LOL, as I recall the wild grapes grew in the washes of Texas.

Thompson Seedless grapes will grow 40’ long branches, if not trimmed, they are what I used for shade inside one of the greenhouses, wonderful, a ceiling of grapes to eat and they give shade in the summer and drop the leaves in the winter.

You can grow grapes from the seeds in the grapes at the store, like all hybrids, who knows what will grow, but if you found the right spot, it would be fun to watch and see what did grow.

How I envy you all that land begging for your seeds.

Don’t over do it, we want you back here.

I am glad that you found your place, it is wonderful to live out a real dream.

Miss you.

Yes ma’am, they do. I haven’t found any on the land close by me, but they are so easy to get going. I am fond of jelly made from the wild mustang grapes and those take off really well when you transplant in the wild.

I have also got seedlings of apple and lemon trees started from store bought fruit last year. Have several peach seeds that I am going to chill and try to get started as soon as I get the extra time. Got the seeds spread all over 3 houses right now. Gotta get them in the same location then I can pay attention to the.

That’s my biggest challenge right now. Too many parts of things are in different houses in different towns. LOL
