Grow Write Guild Prompt #2: Your Fantasy Garden

Unlike the last Grow Write Guild prompt, this one is pretty easy. Write about your fantasy garden. This is the garden you could have if you could have ANYTHING. I am almost certain I could write about this, feel satisfied with my response, read my response, and then realize that I missed twenty more things I would like to have in my fantasy garden. I'll try not to ramble too much. :)

The first three things that come to mind for my fantasy garden:

1. I would want to sprout a couch.

You know you want to!

2. I would want a wisteria tunnel:

Can't you just imagine reading a book on that bench there in the summer?

3. I would want an edible front lawn, preferably in raised beds like so:

Delish!

(At this point I am realizing I should probably just direct you to my Pinterest boards. Well too bad for you! I'm going to keep going!).

I would want a few cherry trees, a few apple trees, and a nectarine tree. But I'd settle for peach. :)
I would want to grow TONS of strawberry plants, including wild strawberries.

I would grow red, white, and black raspberries as well (I'm currently working on this in real life).

I would grow corn, beans, soybeans, spaghetti squash, red peppers, peas, asparagus, all colours of carrots, every type of cherry and sauce tomato, purple and Yukon Gold potatoes, zucchini, mache, purslane, spinach, cucumbers, celery, onions, shallots, garlic, and green onions, to name some off the top of my head.

Oh, and because this is fantasy, I'd obviously have a bunch of pineapple plants, which I would eat in its entirety when fruited and then get massive indigestion from. Cause that's how I roll.

I would have a pergola with all my edible vining plants, including some grapes:

And I would have the coolest herb garden you've ever seen:

 I would have fancy stepping "stones" for my garden path:

I would have a bee hive,

and some of these for bees that don't live in colonies,

and of course a bunch of flowers that the bees like.

I'd also have a bat box or two to invite those adorable furry flying mice to come and eat my mosquitoes:

And let's not forget birdhouses:

I would have tons of succulents planted all over:

And the rest of the space would have native wildflowers and grasses growing all over. That way my non-food garden can be water smart!

But I would have one peony plant and one ranunculus plant, just cause I think they're puuurty.

And let's not forget rain barrels, bird baths, and composting bins.

I feel like I rambled. Sorry. I hope that I at least provided you with a bit of inspiration. I know it is making me want to try to tackle a few projects I've been thinking of for the garden.

What is in your fantasy garden?
