All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Everything I've planted on my property are perennials. That includes flowering/insect attracting plants as well as fruit and nut trees (blueberries, raspberries, black walnut and apple). I haven't gotten into annual/kitchen gardening yet and I may not. This year I'll focus on methods of landscaping to cut back on the amount of lawn mowing to be done.
Most of our stuff is perennial as well, but there's always something so nice about cut-and-come-again salad greens and fresh herbs that I'll gently encourage you to explore. Your space looked gorgeous the last time you shared photos, so I'm excited to hear and/or see what you decide to do!
My wife planted salad greens and herbs years ago that I enjoyed. So yeah, I may revisit that.
