Aww, thank you.
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!
Umm, you certainly could send some to us! :) Bet it's yummy!Quote:

Most of my plants were on clearance. This saves a lot of money, especially if someone is as obsessed with plants as I am.:D 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.

Wow - yes, Perennials are the best - make 'em happy and they come back year after year!
Beautiful! Well done, Heidi and plants and family!

So pretty and fresh!
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.Quote:

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.
That's a great alternative! Please post some pictures.
