My garden was a blank canvas, mostly lawn. I’ve started the transformation to food forest, covering most of the back garden in a foot of chip. One of the first structures to go in, is a herb spiral which I finished yesterday.
The growing part is filled with logs, chip and old compost from tubs growing potatoes. I was planning on leaving it, mulched with chip, until the warm weather of spring.
Is there anything I can put in now? My local plant / garden centre has a big discount on perennials. Or should I wait until after the last frost next spring?
I’m in Lower Hudson zone 5. I can expect frosts anytime soon, although the next ten days look to be above freezing.
