I am going to SIMPLIFY my gardening next year.
Over the years I have been trying many varieties. Maybe close to 100.
I have found few that I really like , some that were ok but most not so good.

Here goes my 20/80 rule. Out of 100 I have 20 favorites and 80 that I don't care for. So the next season I will grow about 12 of those, about two plant of each, Just about 24 plants.
I will give them twice the space. ( 3ft by 4ft =12 sq-ft). !2 *24 = 290 sq-ft. .That is about 50% of my garden space. I will grow other things in the remaining 50%. .
I want to have ample walkway , to be able to do my work with ease. Right now I have a jungle.
Talking about Cherry/grape varieties , I will have 3 plants. .
