As a new-ish homeowner, I stand firmly by the belief that Year 1 is meant to “get to know” your surroundings - your garden, the type of light it gets, the composition of your soil, what kind of pests you’re dealing with - Year 1 it is a time to observe. So now that I am almost a 2-year homeowner, I felt more confident knowing where I wanted to situate my cut-flower garden.
