This is what happens when a newbie like me gets enthusiastic about gardening. I’m region 7b, and I’m temporarily living with my parents, so the things that I do grow are all potted (in some way or another) and there’s no landscaping involved, it’s just straight up let’s see what we can grow. I have fruits, veggies, herbs, houseplants, flowers and trees, and stuff.
My trees are the ones I enjoy the most. I currently have a mimosa tree, a purple plum leaf tree, an autumn flowering cherry tree, a nectarine tree, a pink lady apple tree, a texas everbearing fig tree, and a weeping willow tree. I plan to expand though to much more soon.
One thing to note on alot of my plants, I use a system where I cut the top off water jugs and let like a single root plant (beet, turnip, etc) plant grow inside it. It’s great to keep in moisture, gives the leaves support, easy to water without disrupting soil (just pour the water through the handle spout) and very easy to move around. A few of my plants have nibble marks, but I spray everything with canola oil and dish soap per reccommended schedules.

And to water my lovelies, I use rain water I catch in a 50 gallon trash can I got at walmart for ten bucks. It’s better than Texan tap water and it helps conserve the worlds resources =)
WOOO. I also have ferns and other plants, but I’m way too tired of taking pictures. Lol. Congrats if you got through all of this!
