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

Here are some older pictures from like...early 2016?

Playing an instrument is usually effective at getting my mind off things.

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.
