Small Space Patio update!

Wow, has it been a year since my last post?  Life and work have a way of taking over sometimes but I have been busy and happy to share.

I have expanded my small space and honestly overjoyed that I have seen constant flowers and have new additions.  I have visited many local farms and orchards and have been very choosy about what to plant because I want to actually eat the edible things I grow and wanted to pick plants that are native to my area so they will thrive.  I have 4 different kinds of roses now and have expanded to pots because I am obsessed with how good they smell.  When I water the roses and leaves, I can smell the rose scent even when there aren't any blooms.  I love that!

I am also OBSESSED with Persimmons.  I love to eat them, love the shape of the fruit and the tree and really everything about the wonderful fruit tree!  I discovered a local farm called Otow Orchard and love to shop their diverse selection of fruits and veggies.  Persimmon season is in the fall and early winter is when this wonderful gem of a place hand picks and dries the most delicious persimmons you have ever tasted!

I look forward to a little peace in the morning before I start my day or in the evenings to take a moment to inspect the leaves and soil for any pests.  I use either some mild soap or a neem oil blend and food grade diatomaceous earth to get rid of pesky aphids.   Here are a few tips I have learned along the way:   Plan out your garden.  Even though my spaces are small, it’s important to consider the ...
