  People underestimate the power of perennials. The moment you get land spam a variety of perennials all over it.

  I love the advice AGAINST the ones you wouldn&apos;t grow again, if you started over. it is really nice to see the honestly of making a bad choice and not pretending like it was not a mistake.

  James, maybe you&apos;ve already posted this somewhere and I just haven&apos;t seen it, but do you have a site map of your garden? I would love to see how you lay out your beds, trees, and so on, because sometimes it seems like you must be working with a hundred-acre plot! Fantastic stuff, man. Thank you for sharing your world with us!

  Try these three more perennials: &nbsp;Egyptian walking onion, sorrel, and lovage.

  I had a Thai Basil plant that was in a pot. She flowered and spread her babies everywhere! I’ve potted a few of them in various places in the garden because pollinators love the blooms. Oddly, the original plant died, but she created a huge family.<br><br>I also have a mint plant but learned the hard way that unless you want a mint jungle, plant it in a pot that is off the ground. They spread out of their pots out of the drain holes.

  James it&apos;s good to see all the fruits and vegetables &nbsp;and not wasted lawn with nothing growing on it such a waste of space

  Hey Tuck! We miss you! &nbsp;I bet you&apos;re hanging out with my Patrick! He went SHOPPING in the garden too! &nbsp;Always patroled the garden and kept out the bad guys! &nbsp;Harvesting radish, lettuce, carrots and waiting for his favorite - cabbage core! Yes! He would grab them from the compost pile, so we started saving shredded cabbage and anoccasional core to serve with his meals. &nbsp;Thanks James for sharing your precious boy-o with us all these years. These 5 years later, we still feel Patrick:s presence. &nbsp;We were blessed to have him so long. ❤🥕🥕🥬🥦🥒🥕❤
