Snow still inna yuh forecast?

Came home today to see my landscape man, Jose, starting on a backyard project I've been planning for two years. He cleared out some deciduous bushes including forsythia. Yes, they are pretty in the Spring, offer plenty privacy in the Summer and Fall but zero privacy in the Winter. I live on a small lot and my back door neighbors are too close. So I am installing the following evergreens:

• 6 Leyland Cypress right up against the chain link fence staggering them a bit. These will be 4-5 feet when installed and they grow fast - tall and bushy and will have to be tamed regularly. Jose a look job security .
• Shrubs being installed are Euonymous (Silver King), English laurel, and Nadinia domestica.

As for my vegetable garden, I bought some callaloo and yellow scotch bonnet seeds when I was in Jamaica last November so I am going to plant those. Kia's Franken-callaloo she sent me a couple years ago will just spring up again too. Other vegetables I plan are eggplant and tomatoes which will go in the ground in mid-May. In a couple of weeks I will sew kale and broccolli rabe seeds in planters outside since they like cool weather.

Seems that the bountiful thyme I had for two years in a planter is not going to happen this year. I will get some new thyme plants and set them up in my front garden where it is sunny and where it will the rosemary and flowering plants company. The peppermint and spearmint will come up again like weeds under a maple tree where nothing else will grow.
Lawks. Can't wait to putter putter roun di yard

We plant vegetables in September/October. They can be planted now for summer, but the person needs to spend a lot of time working the garden. The summer sun is brutal and the soil is mostly sand so it does not retain water. Not a good combination for healthy planting.

I am planting Sorrell next month so it can be ready for Thanksgiving and the rest of the holidays. Sorrell is a hardy plant that can withstand the heat. I'll probably plant some callaloo as well.

Sweet basil

Blu I do square foot gardening (more efficient when you have small space), so my garden is 12 x 4 ... I plant my sweet peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes upside down hanging on the fence and my herbs are in pots. I think I going put one of the scotchies that I get from Jamaica in a pot too... those did start off well when I lived in the apartment but then I moved in the middle of the summer that year.

Garden is in and good rainfall this past week almost everything has sprouted... my pot of callaloo, thanks ms exced, is looking promising. Need to go back to the green house for few perennials, 3 shrubs and a few annuals. Need to go pick up tomato and pepper at the organic market if my body allows me during lunch tomorrow.
