If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

summer herb and make sure that you get registered. Summer school is in session and it has never been better. Hey pioneers. Welcome to episode number 424. Today's episode we are going to be talking

about growing fast fruit trees which may sound a bit like an oxymoron. If you have ever delved into the world of growing

fruit trees, then you know that it can sometimes take up to seven years of a fruit tree growing before you ever get a fruit

harvest or should allow a fruit harvest to come off of your fruit trees. I'm very excited for today's episode because having

your own orchard and that could mean a couple of different types of fruit trees or maybe it's even just one or two fruit trees and maybe it's many, many more than that.

But I feel like in the home production world of homesteading where we talk about raising livestock and definitely

doing a vegetable garden, fruit trees and berry bushes tend to be something that's a bit more overlooked and I think a lot of times people think you have to have a really large area in order to grow any type of a fruit tree and though you do have to have some space not nearly as much space as a lot of people think.

And today's guest is even going to help you come up with ideas on how you may be able to grow fruit trees,

even if you live in a more urban environment

or suburban environment, an area where you don't have a lot of land.

And so I'm really excited for today's guest.

Plus, she shares a lot of knowledge

on helping you select the right type of fruit tree
