Wow it’s going to look amazing.

[@meenaxisanga]

Very nice information for plants

[@pam6204]

Beeeeautiful!!! Well done dear Christina. One fantastic season drawing into your next. Lots of love to you.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Christina. I am NOT a visionary so I have a very hard time imagining what something will eventually look like. I am SURE that because I feel you are a visionary everything will look amazing ! It’s just VERY hard for ME to imagine. Heck my garden is a mess I have to wait for things to grow in before I decide I hate them in a spot. 🎃🍁💚🙃

I can't remember the last time we got some rain, and then there are others down south that are being rescued by boats knee deep in water, so sad :( Thanks for sharing your garden :)

[@judymckerrow6720]

I hope you and your family had a GREAT vacation. I use to have to take a vacation after my vacation because I would get so worn out from the vacation. 🤭JK but I was usually exhausted from my vacation. 🎃🍁💚🙃

Looking good! how big is your total growing space?

[@SunshineFlora]

I would have to remeasure now that we added the new areas but I’m thinking about an 1/8th or an acre?

[@bethrichards4495]

Looks great!! You are a busy beaver! Question....why did you plant that tree right in the middle of your perennial space? Seems like the shade will end up being an issue.

[@SunshineFlora]

It’s a short fruit tree so will only get 8 feet tall

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

Christina, just curious, could you inter-plant the holes that have 4" spacing with perennials, then small annuals in-between? I've seen videos where this is done to save space, but also to pair plants that can grow better as they share similar or complementary qualities. Just a thought. It would be an interesting experiment, but I can also see an advantage to keeping everything separated. PS -- Raspberries are a LOT of work. They constantly spread in the garden. I'm not sure if landscaping fabric would even work. Blueberries are a much easier choice, in my experience. 😀😀

[@SunshineFlora]

Hmm - good idea 👍

[@judymckerrow6720]

I really don’t remember. Do you have your garden beds on irrigation? If not with you eventually put them on irrigation? 🎃🍁💚🙃

[@SunshineFlora]

Some are on drip. Some on soaker hoses. Some are still hand water. More will be automated next year

[@rodneydevier4800]

What is your watering set up for tarp area?thanks!

[@SunshineFlora]

As right right now I hand water. Next year I will most likely add drip or soaker hoses back into a lot of my areas

Hi Christina can you tell me farmer Bailey website again plz

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

I think Farmer Bailey sells to wholesalers only. It would be really interesting to find a resource that sells plugs to home gardeners.

[@SunshineFlora]

It should just be farmerbailey.com.

[@CindyKane-qi5ln]

You should wear gloves. I never did but I do now. Saves your nails.

[@LisaWalker-u7i]

If the holes for planting are 4" apart and you want the longer distance of 8", couldn't you just skip every other4" holes to make the 8" distance you are wanting?
