I'm just starting and the patch of land is pretty small, but I'm trying to get a mini food forest going in our frontyard in Northern Germany.
There's 4 trees (mirabelle, plum, apricot, pear) to which I finally planted "companions" a few days ago, a small hedge consisting of insect friendly shrubs, some Blueberry plants. Also a Magnolia, Cherry Laurel (leftover from former owners) and another unidentified big shrub. Also some flowers here and there, but most of it is still (former, unmown) lawn which is going to be converted step by step.
