The beginning

So this is how it all starts. My father left me a piece of land, and I didn’t know what to do with it. After suggestions from a few friends and family, I decided to make an orchard out of it. A mango orchard, to be specific. This is where I will document the progress. I am in the tech field with little to no farming/agricultural experience, and this is the story of The orchard.
