Hi Friends,
Sorry I haven’t been around. On top of my work schedule I have spent what little free time I have in our garden. We have been in our house for 4-5 years now and he have tried different type of plants, bushes, and trees. Some have survived and others have not.
For the ones that did not make it through the Winters we have slowly been replacing them. This year we not only replaced the fallen plants, but we have added a lot of new ones. As I mentioned in a previous posts we planted 20 tomato plants and more recently added at least 10 fruit trees. We do not live on farm, but we have space that was not previously occupied.
In past years we did not plan ahead of time or we planted too late in the season. This year we started early with the hopes of seeing our hard work blossom.
Here is what our garden looked like a week ago. Since then I have added at least 2 more fruit trees and this weekend will probably add some Japanese Maple trees and some bushes. I hope I still have some Motrin left. I’ll need it.
Sweet peas. I also planted corn, green onions, and green beans, but they haven’t grown much yet.
Pomegranate. I planted two of these.
Avocado. There are two of these as well. My co-worker says you have to plant two close to each other so they will grow.
Guava. I hope it grows in our area.
Quince. We originally bought a pear tree, but the pear tree branched out into a pear tree and this quince tree. It was a pleasant surprise. As it turns out, they species of quince is from Turkey.
Rose. This is one of two new rose bushes that were planted last year.
Olive. We planted two of these as well. Not sure what we will do with olives, but we hope it provides some shade when it gets bigger.
That’s it for now. We also planted some 4-in-1 fruit trees. They are 4 different types of peach on one tree. That should be interesting. We had never heard of such a tree.
