Showing Restraint

a mostly sarcastic title.

Every gardening website / book I've read had the same advice. Start slowly and don't go overboard with too many plants because it might become too much work.

So keeping to that advice (seeing it's only our second year and the first was not so spectacular), we planted:

2 cherry trees
3 black currants
1 white currant
1 logan berry
2 black berries
1 rose
1 plum tree
1 apricot tree
4 pots of strawberries

and there are not one, not two but three blueberry shrubs on their way to us. Three different types so we'll have blueberries from July to September. That's what the catalog promised.

That covers the fruits.

Repotted shrubs and tree sheltered by the wall. 


We've also started:

2 Eggplants - mini ones for Makdoos
1 Rose mint
2 Tomatoes
2 Purple basil
and some catnip.

I'm also planning to get parsley, thyme, and lavender.

My baby plants! Their usual hiding place is the under the bathroom sink. That's the warmest spot in the place.

Don't get me started on the flower. 

I'm starting to think we bit more than we can chew. Oops...
