The arriver of spring is always an exciting metre . Up here in Northern Wisconsin , the blow is ( finally ) protrude to mellow , and it wo n’t be retentive until garden and orchard work can resume .
I pass time each wintertime denounce through seeded player , garden and nursery catalogs provision which plant I want to purchase . Some tried - and - true stalwarts always make the inclination ( Sungold tomato are a must ) , but part of the fun is experimenting with Modern plant and varieties .
You never make out which will rick out to be massively successful .
I ’m ready to turn over on the tools and equipment front . I built a bunch of new garden beds last year , and my orchard deer fencing is dutifully protecting my tree from hungry browsers . I have rolls of welded wire and mickle of T - mail for excess garden fencing , I ’m well stocked on shovels / coon / etc . , and I have all the compost I want . As soon as the danger of Robert Lee Frost is preceding ( or in the face of bare - beginning plants , even sooner ) , I ’m quick to start planting .
To apportion my upheaval , here are five unexampled works I ’m looking forward to try in 2022 :
Contender Peach Tree
Northern Wisconsin is n’t incisively the peach tree capital of the world , but my region falls into Zone 4 on the USDA Hardiness Zones mapping , which means it should be fond enough to growContender Peach tree .
By planting them at the top of a hill , shelter against the prevailing winds by rows of shelterbelt trees , I go for to simultaneously keep my rival Peach Trees out of lowland frost pockets and protect them from frigid winter breezes . Throw in mulching to protect their solution , and I ’m affirmative they ’ll survive the Wisconsin winters .

Somerset Seedless Grape
Old grape vine have grown on my farm for decades , but they bring out small fruit with lot of seeds . And I ’m afraid they ’re more than a small turned .
That ’s why I ’m ready to trySomerset Seedless Grapes . They ’re sturdy to Zone 4 , and their seedless nature is appealing . But the bare theory of growing tasty grapes is reasonableness enough to give them a try .
Josee Reblooming Lilac
I love lilac , so I could n’t decease on the chance to grow aJosee Reblooming Lilac . It ’s a dwarf variety that bloom multiple time throughout the year , unfold the joyousness of lilac blossoms beyond the usual once - per - year window .
I already have the complete planting position in judgement — at the corner of two intersecting paths in my orchard , where it will serve a little but attractive centerpiece . This is one of the plants I ’m most worked up to grow in 2022 .

American Giant Hybrid Sunflower
There ’s something inherently fun about growing a plant with “ giant star ” in its name , and when the giant in doubt is a lovely as a sunflower , that get going two-fold .
American Giant Hybrid Sunflowers are guess to be capable of reaching 15 foot tall . I intend to plant mine in a nothingness - shelter surface area , give them rich territory and plenty of piss , and see how eminent they ’ll rise .
Yukon Gem Potato
Last class , I grew a small but successful clavus harvest , which I ’ll ingeminate ( and expand ) in 2022 . For practiced measuring stick , I ’m planting another agriculture staple : spud , specifically Yukon Gem Potatoes .
Yukon Gem is an improved mixed bag of Yukon Gold . And since I have a go at it eat baked tater , grow my own has a lot of entreaty .
