Looking for advice on a new orchard layout

Impressive growth! Note to self... this shows what can happen when you do things right.
 
Planted 60 chestnuts today and put them under the lights. Zero mold on any of them this year plus starting them a month later than last year. I feel we will have a late spring with the 3 ft of snow that needs to melt off!

Also I finally took action and started to try and grow asparagus from seed. I will start a large plot of asparagus next to the orchard as I love grilling it but have never grown it myself.

Quick update: every single one of my chestnut trees died this past winter. That experiment is over.

Had a couple Galarina and Goldrush trees also die out from the 2018/2019 winter. Replanted some snow sweet apple trees in there place. Here’s how the main orchard is looking at year 2 and 3.
