In the Garden
I like to take a walk around the garden in the morning to see what’s blooming. This morning I noticed that my foxglove are taller than I am and the first Echinacea is in bloom. Here are some photos from the garden this morning
Raised Beds
This year I decided to put in some raised beds. My full-sun area is limited (due to the huge trees on 3 side of my small lot). I can either grow some veggies in my front yard or in a small area in the back yard. Since, I’m not quite ready to tear up the lawn and plant potatoes, I chose the back. The back yard used to be a gravel driveway before we moved in, so the ground is compacted and full of gravel. Since I couldn’t dig down, I built up. I had Mr Chiots build me a few raised beds this spring. I mixed up a beautiful soil and away I went. Here’s a photo of a few of the beds after they were built and filled.
Garden Journal
This blog is going to be a journal of my gardens. I always wish I had written down when I started my tomatoes or when the tulips bloomed last year. Now I will have it all in one place. Hopefully I can keep it up.
