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.
Some before and after of the giant dirt patch out back. Evidently it used to be a tree before it fell on the house (we lucked out because the prior owners put on a new roof and got rid of what was left of the tree).
On the downside, they evidently didn’t really remove all the roots so some patches of the garden have giant wooden tendrils only a few inches below grade.
It’s mostly wildflowers and native plants here. We have a raised garden that houses our tomatoes, strawberries, bell peppers and green beans.
Cool I like how you followed around the ex-tree affected area instead of just making a circle.
Plus it’s less to mow!
