I do successive planting as well - any spare spot is filled up in case a weed wants to move in!africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-23940852871296574352017-03-17T09:48:27.357+10:002017-03-17T09:48:27.357+10:00I think that is its main property is its looks.

There are some awesome sites to check what to plant at what time, and I think I will mostly be planting fast growing greens, and kale carrots and squash that will mature into fall. africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-84154067440221173162017-03-17T02:20:35.158+10:002017-03-17T02:20:35.158+10:00The dragon fruit looks gorgeous.

We've been having a very long, cold winter where I live but soon it should warm up. I'm going to a seed exchange in a few weeks and will begin my garden preparation at that time.<br /><br />I'm not familiar with what kind of garden to put in zone 7 as July is well into summer months which is prime growing season in America. But I'm sure you will come up with a lot of good vegetables and perhaps there are some later blooming flowers. I am still very much a green horn when it comes to gardening. Best of luck with two gardens. I'm impressed!Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.com
