    So over the last 2 years I have been working on putting in a food plot and it is now fully completed, well I still have to maintain it. It is about 1/2a planted with clover/chicory on the sides with 3 fruit trees planted in it and then whatever I feel like for a annual in the middle. I decided turnips this year which I planted yesterday and I also put a 10ft x 10ft in the middle of cowpeas just to try them out. The 1st pic is 2 years ago, 2nd pic is from my tree blind I built earlie this year (I did a thread on it) 3rd is from my tree stand across from the blind. Pic 1 & 2 are taken from the same spot

    If you can try barlet pears. I planted one that was 4 ft tall and in three years its dropping fruit like a madman. Just have to make sure you trim it. First time I planted I didn't and some branches broke under weight of fruit.
