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.
I aspire to be at your level, what a beautiful yard/garden!
My herb garden/potted plants are doing very well. My new raised bed, similar to your square, does not look as good and I put my tomatos in too early and now its just a box of dirt in the yard with a couple yellow squash/cucumber seedlings that may or not make it.
Of course the volunteer tomato plant in my garlic patch is thriving lmao. It’s going to get torn up when the garlic gets pulled, but maybe it will live. Worth a shot.
Really beautiful garden you have here I love the clover in the yard!
It’s a lot of trial and error figuring out where and when stuff will grow eh? I failed to grow peppers in these the raised squares, but they absolutely thrive on deck railing planters. I still don’t really get why haha.
A big cheap bag of orange hay to keep the weeds away is pleasing to look at haha.
