It’s been a super busy week. Our native plant nursery was ending their fall sales this week and I’ve been wanting to check them out all year. Made some time to get over there before fall closing and was able to score about 40 varieties of native diversity that I didn’t have.

Well, what do you gotta do once you buy them? Plant them in the ground of course!! Boy has this been a chore. I was finally able to get the front “showcase” garden finished and I can’t wait for it to lush out in the spring. 🤩 there’s still about 20 more pots to get in the ground but I’ve been making some steady progress each day.

Our property is mostly subsoil from when they graded so I’ve had to wiggle down inch by inch to try and break up the soil to add some compost and other organic matter. This part takes the longest but I’ve noticed if I just dig 2x the pot diameter then the plants are stunted once they hit that hard compacted subsoil. So I gotta put in a little more 💪🏼💪🏼
