Hey Jess….look into straw bales for your potatoes!
Cottage gardens are the plant hoarder’s garden. I love them, my mom was queen garden hoarder, and we moved a lot, so we were always starting a new one! Start with your top layer, the trees like wisteria, lilac,Japanese maple, dwarf apples. Then your bushes… lots of roses are nice, lavender, rosemary, try to incorporate you perennial herbs in your cottage garden. Then lilies, irises, columbine, you name it. In the fall plant your spring blooming bulbs. Then each year fill in the gaps with your direct sow. My favorite thing was to randomly stop at a nursery and pick several 1gal plants, you take them home and place them around, move them around until they FEEL right, then plant. Make sure to leave plenty of space for a bench, bird bath, bird houses, statues and other plant hoarding accessories! You have to learn to let go on it.
why not plant some Artichokes? they look wild taste good and look beautiful if left to flower
Love cottage gardens!!
Deanacat3 has a wonderful Instagram and a blog called Homestead and chill. You just have to check her out. Her garden is beautiful. I Garden is wild and structured at the same time.
You need a small cottage, hollyhock, roses…etc for English Garden.
You should put artichoke plants in that area around the greenhouse! They get HUGEE!
I am curious with all of your seedling what sort of soil mix you are using. My spring planting had to all be starters as I did t realize my new climate meant things went in the ground by March first. Lol. But I am thinking ahead for the next season in late summer.
Omgosh. The varigated tomato plant was gorgeous. How are the fruit???
Weird I'm not getting your posts. Have to search for them. Bless you sweet family
I think a row of elephant ears with a couple banana trees would look amazing with your greenhouse!
For a cottage garden, experts say to over plant and then you can always take stuff out and move it because it's perennials, they move without problems.
I see you have two of the Greenstalk vertical planters by the doors to your greenhouse. Their headquarters and warehouse is in my town. I have several of them on my deck and love them! I use mine for herbs and greens. I'm trying sweet peppers this year.
Jess, you might find this woman inspirational with a cottage garden…I just love watching her design her garden…and she is an artists…

Miriam: "Eh, hands off the utters." lol
Banana tree! You can freeze any extras in the peel and use them in smoothies or oatmeal.
Elephant ears, most definitely, and a few iris to the front. I LOVE iris!! Lucky you!
Yes! I get it!
You should send me a variegated tomato plant.
Maybe take seeds out with you when you go to pull plants , so you can just reseed at the same time. I love doing my potatoes in bags, and the stems are so big and green that are nice to fill in an empty spot! I use the fabric bags for mine, 10 gallon
I AM YOUR VARIEGATED PEOPLE!!!
