Emily Plants

It’s time to thin your peach trees! Removing every other fruit plus the little ones helps produce larger fruit and also helps to prevent branches from breaking. Her are some before and after pics from one mature tree in Monona.

First food forest of the season! The entire family got in on the asparagus planting action!

Your trees, shrubs, and perennials still need water! New plants need one inch per week. It will be a good weekend to get out your hoses and give them a slow drink.

Almost done with this fruit, herb, and pollinator garden!

It was so nice to go back and see this front yard where I planted fruit trees and bushes 6 years ago. The homeowner added a lot of perennials and it looks beautiful!

Helping one of my favorite clients with spring cleanup. She even takes pretty good pictures!

Second planting of 2022. The dog didn’t help but she sure is cute!
