    We transplanted a fig tree that is loaded this year. My husband snuck into the bush and liberated a small gooseberry tree which appears to be thriving. We also have Lillies, midnight fuschias, salvia and night sky, and red blue petunias. Guess I may need to make chutney one day. Wish I could send some to Pet talkers, not a lot of demand for fig chutney in my family 😐

    Oops, not a gooseberry tree, it is a huckleberry tree!

    Flowers are doing great, sure miss a vegetable garden. Not much room for one here, although,last time we had one a whole gang of raccoons used one corner of it for their community toilet. Eeeeeeew! Like who wants to eat the vegetables knowing that 🤢 🙊 One could hurl just thinking about it 😂

    Cheapskate gardener

    Most of my plants were on clearance. This saves a lot of money, especially if someone is as obsessed with plants as I am. It's especially rewarding with perennials, since they come back year after year.
    Today I found this pot with all those beautiful Gerbera daisies, marked down from $ 13 to $ 5.

    Beautiful! Well done, Heidi and plants and family!

    Have you tried veggies in pots? I had to give up my vegetable beds a few years ago, because the surrounding trees grew and it became too shady.
    Beans, tomatoes and cucumbers do well with about 6 hours of sun on my deck. Another bonus: No critters to destroy them!

    Excellent idea! Should try that next year as we have flowers in every pot now. Thank goodness for farmers markets!!

    trees obscured a lot of space, even their sweep did not really help. found a way out, built wooden boxes in the sunny space and filled them with fertile soil. ready to disembark.
