Early look outside

So I took a good early look outside and I'm THRILLED with what I see! I think this will be a good year as long as I remember last years lesson "don't go INSANE!" 

That guy I knew would survive it's an ever bearing raspberry (I candig out the name if you like?) I did try to adjust the shape some so it wouldn't rub or do anything to the grill and what I cut I decided to just stick in the dirt if it don't work then it don't work nothing lost 

It survived not this but last winter in about a 12" clay and it did fine telling me this would be fine as was in a larger pot 

Another tough one that we thought would survive was the peony if you look there's bits of red in there (it's an in progress bed) that thing if I recall survived such abuse before we finally planted it that I'm still confident it can withstand about anything 

The goji I was more unsure of because of the winter 

But even in spite of a broken pot that I desperately need to replace 

Somehow it's still ALIVE! And the outher ones still as flexible (this was the sweeter plant!) so I'm confident that one will be back too! 

There's the window box 

The salsa garden (think I'm gonna do another this year not certain) 

So as y'all can see I have a lot of cleaning up to do --the stores ARE starting to sell the plants too now BUT I am in this nasty habit of not planting anything outside till June which actually has a method by then if anything like the raspberries and goji or even catnip or anything I had last year is coming back I'll be able to identify the seedlings so I can know to save one year i cleaned early and had a million and one dandelion seedlings which I wasn't too pleased with right now I'm leaving most of what where as any may be on top so it needs to germinate or return for me to see it 

ATM I'm planning on replacing the busted goji planter maby buying another goji and having 3 in there then doing my mini jungle (boxwood basil maby even some reg mixed too and coarsican mint under it)  and using the current plastic goji to go get another fruit also buying more for more different fruits I want a yellow raspberry a pink and blue blueberry and I'm thinking of a couple grapes as we'll I'll defo have to learn "how" to care for the plants ATM I'm letting the gojis go crazy if I transplant them I'll let them go then maby start shaping them some next year depends how they look 

Also a quick update on my foot: it's healed up but I have an irritated ligament (that's STILL irritated!) it's really not painfull we'll possible tear we will see in time I was shot with "something" and I think between it and the compression sock thing and the brace my foot would not stop bugging me last night 2 hours in I had the brace off and at the end of the night I took the sock thing off after my rather annoying drive home I put an ace wrap on (I typically have about 4 of them in my car) and that ATM seems like my best option it atleast seems kinder in the little time I've had it on --was walking in the garden taking these pics with it on 

Also the doc said yet again that I must have a high pain tolerance called me a "tough cookie" as we'll the ligament may be torn (to do what I did to my foot it's possible mores damaged as we'll so now he knows to watch that stuff) I still swear it wasn't much worse then a pressure like my bone was pushed a little to the side it really didn't hurt and it's defo more annoying sence the injection and that! Hopefully will be better sooner!
