Ive moved to a condo in Z7B and am now learning all about container gardening. Before, Ive grown a very large organic vegetable garden and created no-spray perennial gardens and naturalized/forest plantings around my Z4 house in the mountains. Heirloom and species plants interest me and I also adore old roses. After constructing sheet-composted beds on top of rocky clay soil, I planted the garden grouped by type or color, and added perennials and wilder indigenous plants, including a day lilies, daffodils, species tulips, and some tender perennials Im going to try to overwinter. I also winter sow, to create more perennials and annuals to interplant with the roses. This season I added a small veggie bed. Next project will be some shade/understory plantings underneath the forest cover, at the edge of the woods. Current groupings:
