you can kind of understand the slope. At the upper end of the pic you can see the two lilacs in their landscape pots. For Alyssia to decide...where....she gets back tomorrow.
Most of what has been planted here has come to the apex of it's LifeSpan. We will make notes of how it's gone and our thoughts about that. Everything we planted, grew. Some Well. Some, just some. There is a lot to learn about how we continue to amend the soil. Some will remain unknown because of that initial stunning Spring Garden of volunteer wild plants which we will have to assume, used their fare share of nutrients the virgin soil had to Give.
the other thing is to sit with the thoughts about the fact that we CAN plant and grow Anything. But we need to think about the reality of what we really want/need. We have used everything so far. With the Auto Immune Protocol Diet, there is endless joy of stir fry greens and we have used them all. Radish Leaves, pods, the leaves and Stems of everything else. I smile, as i chop. All the stems that all my life i've sent to the compost. Now...crunchy additions.
the big failure has been the onions...or leaks?maybe? anyway...that family...they are still so spindly. ??????
we didn't end up planting all the squash seeds. I still might try. It remains warm into the end of November.
These, a few thoughts. So many. it is such an incredible JOY to learn a new Place.
