I've been gardening for a few years now but decided this year to start leaning towards more perennial crops and herbs. We still do annuals, but if there is a perennial substitution, we'll choose that. We planted tons of brassicas and cole crops already but just got in a batch of Jerusalem artichokes, strawberries (had a patch for two years but El Nino drowned them last years so starting over), Egyptian walking onions, dill, rosemary and expanding my asparagus patch. We've also planted a peach tree and will be adding two pomegranates soon. I'm excited about this year's growing season.

Plant garlic at the base of the peach (You can do it with other fruit trees too) Garlic repels peach borers.

Already done, my friend! Thanks for the tip though!

I'm going to try nasturtiums this year, I read somewhere they have the same effect on peach borer as garlic

Guess we'll see.

I tried but I couldn't get them to thrive. May give them another shot this year.

The only thing I have a problem getting to thrive is female kiwis

And cooler weather plants.
