My indoor growing space is bursting at the seams with mountain mint and some very leggy tomatoes I'm babysitting for a friend while she's on vacation. The weather has been relatively pleasant though, so I've gotten a few more things potted and several more trays going now as well.

• Some grasses, elderberry, and Carolina allspice in pots with some hibiscus cuttings in the box

• Chokeberries, more elderberries, a few types of raspberries, and a few lowbush blueberries I've managed to keep alive after transplanting

• Even more chokeberries, and a whole other type of raspberry (these ones are red)

• Another round of brassicas started

• My worksite supervisor taking a break under a second type of mountain mint I'm growing this year

What's growing on with you all?

we had to cut down a native cherry tree last year because it was crowding the deck. a new one popped up just far enough away that we decided to keep it, and it is absolutely thriving!

we also have some weird fruiting trees out there, which are dropping all over the place. might be an almond tree? and another one might be a plum or peach tree? whoever planted these was really going wild.

Hah that's going to be my memorial plaque at the farm when I'm gone! I'm glad that native cherry decided to leave you with some offspring that were in a better place for you to enjoy.
