@Romy do you have a picture of your garden? I've been thinking of starting a small one in my back yard.

Oh my gosh that's so pretty! I don't know why but I just imagined something a lot more simple, like a herb box on your kitchen windowsill lol

Thank you very much!
I have roughly...8 fruit trees? The rest of the plants are drought resistant (#CaliNoWater) and I've set up a drip irrigation system to minimize the amount of water I use. The fruit trees do well considering how little water they get. I thank the mild California weather for that.
For some reason, herbs don't take well at my house. I do have some wild spearmint growing but it's more ground cover than anything (although it's a great soup addition).
Sorry. I could go on for days about this hahaa ;

You've got a pretty good looking garden, what kind of fruit trees do you have planted?
We've got a nice apple tree that's gotten a lot bigger over the last couple of years. We couldn't figure out why it wouldn't produce apples, just figured out recently we'll have to get a 2nd to actually act as a pollinator.

I've been wanting to plant an apple tree or two but I was curious how they hold out in the Winter when they're young. I live in NB, Canada and we get some harsh Winters where the ground is rarely thawed, but it's been unpredictable this year.
As a fellow 'Swicker (small world eh?), you shouldn't have to worry too much. Mulch/pine needles will prevent potential root damage and you can always get tree wraps if you're concerned about the limbs. When I planted my apple tree, I believe it was around 2-3 feet tall, so fairly young.

I have Grapefruit, 2 Orange, Papaya, Guava, 2 Lemon, Avocado and Loquat (although this one requires the least help ha).
Apple trees are super hard to get to grow fruit. I really wish that I could manage to grow one but they always died young. You're halfway there though! (And ahead of me too!) I wish I could offer some advice but I just kinda free-ball planting haha.
