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.

    Here is my bed of music garlic, elephant garlic, and a couple of onions that I missed last year.

    I don’t have pictures of them, but I have a bed with strawberries, another one with white strawberries, and one that I just filled with Cherokee Trail of Tear and Turkey Craw beans.

      Cherokee Trail of Tear

      Pretty metal name for beans, damn.

      That’s one aromatic planter too, nice.
