Last year, my garden journal shows we had tomatoes in the ground April 13. This year, a week AFTER Mother's Day! No matter. Go with the weather & her determination.
It's amazing to watch the garden establish. Last year was the first year we got in a lot of the perennial trees, vines, and bushes. It often takes 3 years for those plants to fully recover from the shock of transplant. These guys are already looking healthy! It will be so fun to watch the trees grow and claim their space near the back of our property.
As you can see from the photo, we introduced some new perennials, some of them we'll use to create "guilds" or mutually beneficial plantings around the fruit trees. Laz is walking next to yarrow, which is a great beneficial attractor. We also introduced white sage to dry and use for smudging, bee balm for it's medicinal properties, and catnip for the furry man.
