It’s garden time! Over the past 3 weeks, we’ve been filling pots, topping off beds, mulching, weeding, planting, seeding… and now that exhausting part is over! There’s no more space to add anything else.
I thought it would be fun to do a mini garden tour now, at the beginning of the season, and then again at the end, in August or September. I love seeing how people’s gardens evolve over the summer and learning which plants were happy and which plants need some changes to placement or watering the following year.
A little garden summary:
We have about 250 square feet of container garden, 95% of that is vegetables, with a few flowers around too.
5 fruit trees - two apple, one sour cherry, one plum, and one peach. They are still quite young, so we get a lot of cherries, a few apples, and not much from the peach and plum.
A wide variety of perennial plants and shrubs, about 75% are native to Minnesota.
What we’re harvesting this week: cilantro, chives, mint, kale, tarragon, and thyme.
Here is the late spring/early summer veggie garden tour!
