I'm so delighted with the yard these days. Between a combination of planting, transplanting, foraging, and lucky accident over the last few years, I have a straight-up witch garden. I do! The brickwork I'm still smothering the lawn with proceeds apace, but the plants themselves are ready.

I don't think I've actually tallied up all the stuff that's growing and doing well. I think I'll do that.

(herbs)
  • feverfew
  • mugwort
  • borage
  • St. John's wort
  • woolly mullein
  • peppermint
  • thyme
  • rosemary
  • orgeano HOLY SHIT OREGANO*
  • sage
  • nettles
  • bay laurel
  • yarrow

(berries/fruit)
  • strawberries
  • serviceberries
  • blueberries
  • salal
  • gooseberries
  • elderberries, red and blue
  • rose hips
  • crabapples
  • raspberries
  • oregon grape
  • goji
  • blackberries (invasive)
Not all of those are bearing yet. But all are alive and happy and established, and I'm kind of gobsmacked by how much it is. My yard is tiny and now that I'm murdering the lawn, the only parts left are parts with useful plants in. I haven't mentioned the useful stuff I only use incidentally, like heather but mostly like dandelions and horsetails, because ha ha good luck getting rid of those anyway. WITCH GARDEN! :D:D:D:D:D:D 

Alas, I'm not a witch. I'm a motherfucking sorceror. But I still have a sweet setup.
