I grew up in Northwest Indiana and my Grandma had a GLORIOUS garden. She was from Mississippi and boy did she have a green thumb. I will likely be relocating in 2 years we’re open to a hundred places around the country.. we love adventure AND family.. Here’s what I’d like to grow and please don’t say it can’t all be done, because Grandma did it! Thank you!!

Apple tree, a cherry tree eucalyptus tree or plants.
Pergola with grapes. I will grow onions, carrots, potatoes, celery, green onions, strawberries, cabbage, collard mustard and spinach greens, tomatoes and brussels sprouts.

I’d like flowers, too, but I’ll leave those to my hubby who loves landscaping.

Lilac bushes (my favorite) !!!

Lots of herbs like cilantro, basil, rosemary, lavender such for cooking and making soaps candles.

I’m doing a brand new garden - the flower bed will be about 25 feet long and 3 feet wide. I’ve picked out the flowers I want to plant (all perennials) and it looks like it’s going to cost around $1500. Does this sound right, or it high/low?

I keep finding dead bees in my garden, it’s obvious that they selected the place to come and die here, why? I can see nothing special in it to make them choose this garden as their last place to visit as well as a burial ground.

Annie Oakley asked:


I have a beautiful garden in my front yart in the Spring and Summer. It comes back year round. In the winter months it is empty and plain because everything has died. What can I plant to make my garden as enjoyable then as in the spring and summer. I would prefer plants that come back on their own. I live in Western Central region of Alabama.
