That. Is. So. Cool! And I totally agree trading is super edifying, though I do appreciate being able to help support our family with my plant addiction.
Is that tag embossed? That's awesome! We love trading for things here too; I grow a few tomato plants every year for the guy who manages the town transfer station in trade for him saving vinyl blinds for us to use as plant tags
I've got some potatoes ready for planting but the overnight temps are still in the turn-potatoes-to-mush territory so I haven't made moves on those yet. You've got time!
Two years ago I was putting the dog to bed when an old spruce tree fell on the section of house we were in. We're talking a 60 foot/20m tall tree. Scared the hell out of us and the dog wouldn't sleep in the room that night. It wasn't until I went outside that I realized how close we had come. Luckily our house was made by dwarves or something (the low ceilings suddenly made sense) and aside from needing to replace roofing and some solar panels there was no damage.
I will say - I was very happy with the viburnums we received from FedCo (but I'm still holding out hope that I'll see germination on the seeds we sowed last year). I'd also say maybe look into Amelanchier as well, there are a few that have a natural shrub growth pattern and they're gorgeous (and tasty!)
And you're very welcome, it was my pleasure! I know I don't have to tell you but just pay it forward when you get your own seed this year 💕
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!
That's so much earlier than we get to plant outside, ohmygosh! Just because I chose to live this far north doesn't mean I can't be jealous of you folks further south...
I'm glad to hear about your trees too. Ours up here are just budding and our persimmons have a few more years before I expect fruit. You're always welcome to talk about whatever garden bounty is exciting and growing!
Last week I solicited a donation for our town's seed library, which is hosted by the town library. They've never had so many seeds to give out or use for the community garden, which donates all the produce to the local schools and food bank. Here's what ours looks like (imgur) for anyone interested in helping their local library set something like this up.
Yesterday, we played And Out Come the Wolves for Juniper and she seemed to really like it, she even started singing along with me (singing is doing a lot of lifting here, she's not really doing words yet)
They certainly can be in certain climates and areas of wildfire risk. In those circumstances a good biochar session might be advisable as a way to put this type of woody debris towards supporting wildlife, since healthier soils will grow healthier plants which will support the fauna you're aiming to help.
