walnut is overhyped juglone can prevent seed germination but it has little effect on plants over seedling stage. I have a massive shade garden under my Juglans Californica, and there’s plenty of mustard and grass growing under wild ones, so even the seed germination thing isn’t 100%.
I planted spicezee nectaplum- it’s a beautiful tree- dark purple leaves, self pollinating and has made it to fruit production faster than plums I planted a year earlier. Excited to taste the fruit this year.
Any everbearing citrus. It’s amazing that they fruit year round. The convenience of always having a lemon, can’t be beat.
Loquat. It just grows so well where I live, even if you don’t water it. Basically you can ignore it, and it fruits in a season when there’s nothing else. I just made a batch of loquat butter in my slow cooker.
Yep! I make mine with chocolate chips and pecans and add cinnamon nutmeg and cloves
Let’s not assume every garden has the same Eurocentric seasonal variation on lemmy.
I’m mid season right now. Planting usually starts in October but our rain was super late this year.
Lots of weeding and trying to get my summer veggies started. I usually stop planting anything by June.
Gophers decimated most of my greens and peas, so I’m basically turning my vegetable garden into plant jail. Still have potatoes going they should be ready soon.
I also have friendly raccoons who love digging up my plants, tossing them aside to look for insects. They got so mad about my plant protectors last week I heard them fighting trying to break in.
I’m 45 and feeling like I’m aging because I’ve had some health issues that limit my activities. I’ve always hated being in photos and on camera - super introverted.
Recently met someone I was on zoom with no image with. She was a little inappropriate- but basically said, I’m surprised you’re so beautiful you could have turned the camera on.
Made me feel a lot better- and to be honest, I have great skin and my eyes are pretty cool I have sectoral heterochromia so they are two different colors.
