Things I want in my Garden

Herbs:

• oregano
• basil
• rosemary (mmmmmmmmm…)
• mint
• thyme

Fruit:

• raspberries
• strawberries
• pineapples
• lemons
• tangerines

The stretches will be the pineapple, lemon, and tangerine. I have a lemon tree growing but it will be a few years before it starts budding I think. I also have a pineapple started (I had three growing for almost two years (they take two and a half) before going to Paraguay, and they got left at my house and died in the winter). My big question is how much space will all this take? I am going to take a page out of the Shurance book of gardening and keep my hot peppers in a pot and bring them in at the end of the season. I’m told they last a while that way. Almost everything will be my first attempt, but I think Kathy and I might like tending a garden. This year’s job is deciding where to put it and preparing the soil.

If you life in Richmond, and things go well, I might have some veggies for you next year.
