Re: Gardeners!

[pantswarrior]

My actual garden plot only has strawberries and blackberries and a blueberry bush that so far has produced one berry per year. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with the blueberries, but maybe they just need time to take. The blackberries and strawberries seem to be progressing as usual (despite something eating the strawberries down to the ground last fall, despite having a fenced/netted area for them, possibly I left the "gate" open), I think I saw a few beginnings of flowers on the strawberries before the late freeze, so we'll see what happens there.

Outside the garden plot, raspberry vines had taken over a corner of my yard beneath the lilacs before I moved in ten years ago, and only the last couple years have I been pruning them back, due to overcrowding and some kind of orange fungus on the leaves of some vines. Hoping it didn't spread to the ones that are left, but they're growing leaves at least.

Roses around the perimeter of the yard. Was too sick last year to really care for them properly, so it looks like a couple of them have died, and my favorite purple bush is a lot smaller than it was in years past because something (probably the backyard bunnies) munched on them in late fall. But most of them are showing fresh growth, and the ones that were well established and producing well before last year are especially seeming to be well.

The front yard is shady with three huge maple trees (which is why I have 21 mason jars full of homemade syrup!) so the bulbs my sister-in-law's mom planted here when my brother and his wife moved in have never done well. I've been gradually moving daffodils, hyacinths, and irises into the back yard where they can get sun... One of the two beds has been filling in with creeping myrtle I transplanted from my parents house where it was out of control (also have some climbing thing I can't identify that I also swiped some of, now grown all the way up to the top of my deck in back), the other with lily of the valley, and I've been adding a couple hostas here and there for interest.

I'm curious to see how the irises will do, because I didn't even know what they were until I asked - they were just spiky leaves - and I just transplanted them last fall. They're definitely producing fresh spiky leaves, it would be great if they'd flower.

Aaand finally I so far have basil, peppermint, and cilantro for my bunnies. I usually keep them in pots so I can move them inside over winter and still give them fresh stuff (fertilized with their own poop, so it works well!), but I'm thinking about getting some more mint and just planting it in the yard and hoping that it spreads. Right now my back yard is like 30% garlic mustard, and well... mint would smell nicer when we mow. XD
