I have been trying for years to add more fruit to my garden space. Cantaloupes I have had tremendous success with growing cantaloupes. The sweetest, most tasty cantaloupe I have ever eaten was from my garden. But I'm not sure I am going to grow it this year until I have a better plan of growing the melons.

We planted our first in-the-ground vegetable garden this year. When we moved into our new house, we were so excited to get some vegetables growing on the property. The previous person who lived here owned a nursery, so there are a whole bunch of beautiful plants and flowering shrubs all around the property.

Coined in 1973 by Liz Christy and her Green Guerrilla group in New York City, guerrilla gardening uses “seed grenades” as a way of introducing vegetation to empty lots in NYC in order to make the city look better. Sure, people do actually plant some of them, but I think throwing them is much more fun. You know you do!

But there is a whole group in this flower family that are perennials that you can buy once and enjoy year after year. Among many others I present to you the aster: In my experience, asters have more of a wild flower look about them, a little longer, a little sparser, but just as vivid in color as mums and they are a fall bloomer.

History In 2006 I planted fruit trees, in anticipation of retiring and having time to pick and use the harvest. I planted them that fall, a dwarf pie cherry, an Elberta peach, a Lodi apple and a Braeburn apple. The Lodi put on a couple of apples, the cherry tree grew, the Braeburn flowered and the peach tree had several peaches.
