Do you keep the herbs going during the winter? Or just summer?

You can move them indoors if you want. A friend of mine has them all over her house. Some of them are perennials and some aren't. I didn't bring mine in - just got the little plants at the nursery. You can buy any kind of seeds that you'd ever want and start them indoors in the winter, if you have room. I have too many and not enough room inside.

That is super smart!
That's awesome! I'm trying to figure out if I have room for 6 trees. 9 must be a huge blessing!

they are all dwarfs, so ideal for smaller urban spaces.

Because it's not like you are busy...

True, but there are things like scrapping and watching YouTube videos that I could do less of if I really wanted to garden. There are other full time parents and people with full time jobs who garden.

Oh! Buttercups sound beautiful! I should see about planting some!

Oops, I didn't keep reading. I didn't plant my buttercups. They've just been sprouting up all over my front lawn every May (recent years even beginning in April) for the last decade and a half. More prolific than dandelions but they only last until the end of May.

Here's a photo of them from May 1, 2021 that shows how numerous they get. I love them and frown at my husband when he massacres them with the mower. They bounce back pretty quickly though . . . until the end of May.
