Landscaping and garden have been taking all my time this year. So far I've planted about 100 strawberry plants, five varieties of potatoes, three varieties each of blueberries and raspberries. The fruit trees planted in late January are looking great. We have three different multi grafted trees with cherries, peaches, nectarines, and plums. Along with regular rainier cherry and apricot trees. Meyer lemon, navel orange, and satsuma mandarin round out the citrus. At the front of the house I've planted gooseberry, black currant, honeyberry, rosemary, and lavender replacing much of the useless plants planted by the builder.
