>>>as I recall the wild grapes grew in the washes of Texas.<<<
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

Laughing and ‘seeing’ you out there, sneaking seeds into the gov land, Guerrilla farming at its finest.
The young play at it and and think they invented something new, but Johnny Appleseed did it long ago.
I envy you, your place will be wonderful and who knows where the property lines are, exactly?
Reminds me of a parcel of land that I sold in the mid 1960’s, when I sold real estate in Ramona, California.
A man had bought 40 acres of fair land, but wanted more, so every couple years, he fenced in more of the land around him.
Took in another 120 acres, from the adjoining land and pushed into the State forest that adjoined him.
The Buyer came in a few days after his offer was accepted, he was an investor and a good one, who had gone back over the weekend to take photos and said “Something is very wrong on my mountain top!!””
So we paced it and it was, all very wrong on the guys side.
The escrow lasted over 20 years, but in the end we lost, for the Gov settled and the original seller refused to sell on the old terms, as a big boom had hit the area.
So if you get to use it for 30 or 40 years, that should meet your purposes....LOL
Should we take up a seed collection for you to plant?
