It’s going to be a year round home for Kevin, our bird of paradise plant (named after Kevin from the movie Up).
After growing rosemary and basil outdoors in the past, I like the idea having them as perrenials instead of annuals, so we’ll probably have some of those.
Here is a partial list of food plants we’re planning to try:
peppers
tomatoes
onions
potted avocado and lime trees
cabbage
lettuce
cilantro
and things that grow fast and are used often or are easily gifted would be ideal, so if anyone has ideas, I’m all ears
No clear goals other than propagating local moss from my yard and seeding the pine mulch between the stones with it. Probably going to use some in gift mini-terrariums. Also going to replace as much lawn as possible with moss, among other things.
I want a shelf rack for moss propagation.

Asparagus? Anything you enjoy pickled?
Asparagus would be good. I think it takes at least until the second year to be able to harvest, but that’s ok.
Sounds great! Best of luck to you!
Thank you
Wait, what are you doing with the moss?
great way to find tartigrades

You do watermelons? Knowing what zone you’re in might help me give suggestions (for example, I’m in 9a)
Watermelons are doable outdoors here and that’s a great idea for one of the patches we’re considering turning into a food garden.
