We are planning on expanding our edible landscaping this year too. All of those horrid prickly bushes are coming out and will hopefully be replaced by blueberry bushes. Also, we will be adding more herbs, strawberries and maybe some ground cranberries to the landscape.
Of course this list will change over time as we see what grows, what doesn’t and as we run out of time and space. But for now, this is our plan for the spring planting.
