after seeing Penguins I spent the rest of the day digging a big hole and planting a Coral Bark Japanese Maple along our fence. That’s three new ‘anchor tenants’ in our garden including the ‘Everred’ Laceleaf Japanese Maple
and a Hardy Kiwi to grow on the trellis over the gate.
The kiwi produces grape-sized kiwi fruit without the skin, fuzz or seeds, I’m excited to see what it produces!
Our work for the weekend is far from over though: We have about 9000 lbs of gravel to set in for our garden path, and I’m going to pop by the Edible Plant Sale at Seattle Tilth up the road tomorrow to pick up cherry tomatoes for my friends. I’m also on the hunt for an olive tree as I’ve read that arbequina spanish olives do OK here, and I’ve got just the spot (a sunny, western, warm concrete wall) for it!
Tree snaps from today are here.
