Nothing special, just some potting soil and some cups.
Fill up with dirt, make a hole and drop the Brownies in and water lightly.

New this year for me: four blueberry bushes, two thornless raspberries, one thornless blackberry, a goji berry bush, two dwarf cherries, a fig tree, an elderberry tree, and some sunchokes. Also redoing a sizable portion of my drip irrigation. I wanted to rip my maypop vine out and put a self fertile kiwi in its place but time slipped away from me.
I always do the usual tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, onions, herbs, pollinator flowers, etc.. Putting in a new 2 foot by 20 foot raised bed as well for more annuals. Weirdest annual I’m trying this year is a tromboncini squash that’s supposed to be vine borer resistant.
My pluot tree is starting to put out its first fruit this year, so that’s also exciting.
My yard is less than a quarter of an acre, so I’m definitely getting close to all I can fit in it.
Nice selection!
I've grown Tromboncino before. They're tasty, very hardy, and climb without any coaxing if you give them something to climb up. Their shape is also highly amusing.
Just in case you haven't heard, raspberries - and I assume blackberries - spread pretty aggressively. I put one in my raised bed two falls ago. The beds are 4' x 8' and I planted it at one of the long ends. The next season I planted some pepper plants in the far end of the bed. The raspberry bush had overtaken 3/4 of the bed by the fall, but it hasn't tried to escape the raised bed (yet?).
I tried the burying a tote in the ground. I’m sure my Neighbor has shoots coming up…. I find them in my turf, but those get dealt with when mowing, but the flower bed… god they get about 12’ down it and I gotta keep on top of them.
I’m gonna give it one more year before I start actually trying to remove it. I pruned it properly start of last season and got great yields. Birds loved it haha.
