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.
You have beautiful garden:)
My partner and I are lucky to have a bit of space. We planted bushes, veggies, flowers for bees and plenty of berry’s. I have plenty of mint leaves (not in the picture).
It requires a bit of attention but we are happy to do the works. We setup hammocks there and it is wonderful to sit and relax in summer.
A grass patch, fig tree, wisteria, butterfly bush and elderberry bush on the right side.
A young passionflora, started flowering few days ago.
Fig tree, wisteria (closeup) and a kitty:)
The veggies patch has ruccola, spinach, chives, Swiss chard and another chard (can’t remember the exact name).
I have herbs (Rosemary, sage, thyme and oregano). I have bushes and vines, strawberries , blackberries, raspberries, salmonberries and grapevine. Except the grapevine(hasn’t produced yet), we get plenty of berries (summer only) and herbs.
My lovely kittens.
How cool it must be to live somewhere with that kind of roofing! Is it terracotta? Is that what it’s called?
Gorgeous photos/gareden :)
Yeah, it is pretty nice and yes it is called terracotta. It is very common in the Netherlands.
Oooh another pretty yard (and cats!) Not sure if it’s correct wording, but I’ll go with trestle fence? Multi layer for vine stuffs? Very interesting.
Yeah trestle fence is pretty good for vines. I have front garden that needs some work, I am thinking to use trestle fence there.
