We’ve got peas and garlic growing, and we’re planting some lettuce and onion this weekend. Loving this weather! Meanwhile, trips to Sams club are helping with the preps. We are not exactly master gardeners, plus we live on a very small piece of property with very poor soil and black walnut trees, so canned goods and dehydrating are the way to go. We have a few raised beds and we’re trying to do what we can with that.
We don’t have a lot of land but I’m using it as efficiently as possible. We also have a couple black walnut trees but they don’t interfere with where I have my garden.
I have planted some currants and blueberries, both of which do double duty as decorative shrubs and fruit producers.
I also set aside a small plot for an herb garden and have in it sage, Greek oregano, English thyme, rosemary (which is an annual but cheap enough and one can EASILY provide you with enough rosemary to harvest and dry yourself to last you the year), and echinacea. I’m going to do some basil as well, although that is also an annual but seeds are cheap enough.
I liked the idea of having herbs on hand. Food can be pretty boring without them and grow a few tomatoes and you can still have Italian.
