The ground is full In about 5 years time I hope to have at least 10 acres so that wouldn't be an issue but the lots on newer residential lots are tiny. Best guess is 1/16 of an acre. Plus 1/3 of the backyard I'm not supposed to plant anything to keep them away from power lines. What I have is blueberry trees in pots against the fence to get around that.

3x Blueberry (pot)
2x apple (ground)
1x clementine (ground)
2x lime (pots)
1x peach (waiting to get moved into ground)
2x raja puri (in ground)
1x raja puri (45gal smart pot)
1x raja puri (inside hydroponic)
1x ice cream (growing a bit in 10gal container its tiny right now)
1x papaya (dying didn't like winter root bound)
1x watermelon (container - almost done )
8x aztec black corn (single container)
