I'm absolutely not a pro at this. Post your plants!
OP pic is Chinese rhubarb to maybe replace my old plant, russet potatoes that were sprouting on the counter, wild strawberries native to AB I often see in our river valley, asparagus (cut down once already), chives. Further back box is next week's problem.
Everything under the evergreens (out of frame directly behind the fence) suffers and this old planter the old owners put in is rotting, so last year for this struggling stuff except the Honeyberry bush which I need to move anyways. It's big enough to survive in the lawn now. Rhubarb, saskatoons, raspberries don't do well in here. I'll salvage what I can. Smashy'n clover next year. Then new half buried kiddie pools with the bottoms cut out "planters" elsewhere away from those trees is the plan. Classy! I'll do neon green with the dinosaur pattern.
New cherry tree because my old one is about at the end of its expected lifespan and it's showing. I'll pretty up its space if it survives the winter.
Same deal here, but these are an experiment to see if these "CANADIAN HARDY -TAYLOR" Paw Paw (Michigan Banana is another name) trees from Quebec's Green Barn Nursery can really survive zone 3b. They'll get the burlap sacks over winter. Has anyone eaten these fruits before on Lemmy? Curious. Nobody has heard of them locally here I've talked to so far. https://www.greenbarnnursery.ca/products/paw-paw-taylor
The row will hopefully be purple and orange goth-ish Sunflowers. Or "Chocolate" I guess.
The grass mostly died beside the pine tree, so I'm trying clover. It uh, yeah it's thriving. I'll dig out more of the damned grass later. Very good result it'll be lower maintenance now.
My edible garden, including a ton of different peppers, 6 parisian cucumbers, 2 types of Zucchinis (black beauty and cocozelle), Winged Bean, 3 types of Tomatoes (July 4th, Cherry, and Cherokee Purple), Tomatillos, Okra, Boysenberry, Mint and Basil. I am also cloning my tomatoes as gifts for friends.
I am starting to get cucumbers, half of my peppers are flowering/fruiting, and my tomatoes/tomatillos just started flowering. I have also upgraded the trellises for my beans/cucumbers with more suitable sticks/rope for climbing.
My peppers in increasing order of spice. Peppers marked with * are plants that I bought last year that I managed to barely overwinter and am trying to recuperate.
Awesome list! A pepper fiend haha.
I got a few, but they're not sprouted yet on the railing planters to get all the reflected sunlight off the walls.
I like making hot sauces and salsas, so I wanted to get a wide variety of pepeprs. I have made fermented hot sauce and really like it, so I want to do that some more, as well as trying my hand at pickling.
I live in CA, and with the current economic situation, I really wanted to help supplement my pantry/fridge with some every day use veggies as well. I love gardening, so it is good for both my mental health and my wallet, which is a win-win.
I also have a lemon tree and an apricot tree. The lemon tree is crazy productive, but the apricot tree hadn't been pruned in years and was struggling after a heatwave last summer, so I think this year will mostly be growback while it gets healthy after some major pruning.
