This area was christened "England" a few years ago by my oldest daughter after we got back from a trip there. It's eventually going to be an edible garden area with raised beds and cold frames.... someday! In the meantime, it's a former RV pad and I'm growing things in pots. It certainly looks better than last year, don't you think?
We're currently harvesting peas, lettuce and cherries from this area, and soon scarlet runner beans. The kids love to snack on things from the garden!! Strawberries, chard and other edibles are sprinkled throughout the rest of the yard.
What kind of cherries do you have? I have been thinking about a couple of bushes for my "edible area", but I haven't settled on which kind.
What would be your dream fruit to grow? Mine is peaches... I so wish we could grow them here.

Mmmmmmm... fresh peaches! Id be happy with tomatoes that ripened before August!
My cherries are all from the Romance series. This particular one is Carmine Jewel, which I planted 2 years ago along with Crimson Passion. The Crimson Passion died back to the ground this year (its in a pretty exposed location) so before I realized it was still alive, I went out and bought a Cupid cherry. So now I have 3 but the Carmine Jewel is the only one that produced fruit this year and this was the first time. Theyre all still quite small. Theyre yummy though!
