With the addition of so many plants, we are starting to define paths. When they are definite, I will be digging to put the pine path into the ground to make walking level and stable.
Last Thursday the plants we ordered from Permaculture Nursery arrived and we spent Friday and Saturday digging, planting, watering, etc. The care in packaging and shipping was outstanding, I felt like a little kid at Christmas…needless to say, we are very pleased with the plants. Some are still adjusting, but just today the Sea Kale lifted its leaves off the ground and the spinach vine is not wilting.
