Plants

Casey and I are working on creating a native/ functional yard.
In order to do this we planted a whole row of blueberries
with strawberries running around them, sectioned off room for
an orchard and a grapevine,
planted every possible perennial herb you can imagine,
and sectioned off an area where next year we will build raised beds
for an annual produce garden.
Interspersed among all of the food-producing plants
we are planting Cape Cod native plants
that are known to provide habitat and food for wildlife.
Our goal is to create a little oasis of flowers, fruits and veggies,
pollinators, and wildlife.
Of course to do this we needed a lot of plants.
So when we found out that one of the local nurseries was having
a 50% off sale, we paid them a visit...
a serious visit.
I don't think my car could have held one more plant.
