    More perennials. We’ve carved out space in the back yard for a row of raspberry plants. We’ve also cleared some wildflowers (RIP) for a self-pollinating cherry tree. It’s going to have to overflow into the front yard if we want to keep adding.

    Humble goal, to keep increasing the number of healthy plants in my apartment without having any mass extinction event. Right now I’m close to 30 plants.

    Hell strip overhaul from rocky weeds to… Something with intention.

    Also, to get over my fear of ordering a bulk delivery of mulch instead of wasting time and extra money, getting inferior product by the bag, from the big box hardware stores.

    Get some good squish growing. We had one fantastic year of zucchini, yellow, butternut, and acorn squash, but every year since has been a fail. Hoping to recapture the magic.

    Get some climbing plants for the fences and some decorative trees and shrubs. Nothing ambitious, but some more features for an otherwise wild garden.

    My plan is to finally try hydroponics alongside my traditional garden. Apart from that I want to get to know my new gardening space. We moved houses mid-season last year and I haven’t had the chance to get to know this patch.

    Provide my wife the infrastructure she needs to garden effectively. I am excellent at developing systems and awful at gardening, and she is awful at developing systems but excellent at gardening.

        Sub irrigated planters are another option. They’re equally effective, but they take the human error factor of setting and adjusting watering rates out of the equation.

        This is the site I used to make mine and it turned out well:

        Note that he says not to put perennial plants in it. This may be true for areas that get a very deep freeze, but my perennials did great in zone 8.
