Krista's Garden Tour! April/May 2023

April 2023 Garden Tour! Some big changes are shaping up in my yaaaaard here in Zone 6. It's mainly in the form of mulch but also I'm slowly levelling up my aesthetic gardening skills as well (flower suggestions welcome). A couple notes about things mentioned: 1. Info about invasive Star of Bethlehem from WVU: https://extension.wvu.edu/lawn-gardening-pests/weeds/star-of-bethlehem 2. Info about invasive Honeysuckle from UK Department of Forestry: https://forestry.ca.uky.edu/japanese-honeysuckle 3. Info about Peach varieties for KY from the UK extension office: http://www2.ca.uky.edu/agcomm/pubs/ho/ho6/ho6.pdf I chose the Red Haven cultivar because it was common in local nurseries + it has decent resistance to a lot of diseases. We'll see how it turns out! 4. Video about planting fruit trees in clay: https://youtu.be/hM-OklXmxzA My soil isn't fully clay, but there's a layer of hard pan below the sandier stuff up top. I dug a test hole before I planted, and then waited to see how long rain water drained out of it and it took... a while lol. This woman is also gardening Zone 6 and generally has good advice; and thus far my peach trees are doing well following her method of planting. The main thing is keeping them slightly above grade + lots of organic matter in the bottom of the hole. 5. Info about the Persimmon trees I ordered, from University of KY: https://www.uky.edu/hort/Common-Persimmon I'm growing an American variety like this, native to the Eastern US.
