I am new here. I've seen a few members here I have met before. I live with my husband of 52 years, on 11 mostly wooded acres on the Mississippi River side of WI just bellow La Crosse. We are on a high ridge in the forested area of Kickapoo Valley. We bought our virgin property 13 years ago. We have gardens and orchards on the two acres we have cleared. We have apples (Mc Intosh, Cortlands, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Honey Crisp,) pears,(lushious, and parker) cherries, (Northern Spy, Montmorency) Plums, (Stanley, Sweet) cranberry bed, raspberries, black berries, strawberries, asparagus bed, horse radish, many mints and other herbs. We have two gardens 25'x50' and 60'x120'. We also garden in tractor tires. We have a germination shed for early seeding. We have a 16'x22' hoophouse with growing tables. We sell plants, fruits and vegetables as well grow our own needs. We have a flock of layers for our eggs and a few to sell to neighbors. My husband
also sells all above, down in a small village on a corner of busy highways.

I hope to learn and share.
