Here is a plant list for our 1/6 of an acre homestead. All of these 130 species are multifunctional: food, medicine, utility. There is still so much planting space left in the yard! It is mind boggling to think that this land could support hundreds of species that would yield significantly. Some of these plants were here already. Since March we have added many. Give it til the end of this season and I expect that we will have 250-300 varieties to choose from, all working together in a very diverse landscape.
