New Vegetable Garden

 Since the old garden is now only getting 3 hours of sun a day we decided to make a new garden out back - we started from scratch (scratch means 3 foot tall grass, raspberry bushes and big rocks) Here's how it started...

 

First we had to have the area flattened, grass and rocks pushed out of the way and a load of sand, then screened topsoil brought in.

Next David and I built a fence around the garden to keep the deer out!

Then  I made beds with a mix of the topsoil and a black earth/manure/compost mix.

and started planting!

Old Vegetable Garden

This is our "Old" vegetable garden. It has been great - and bountiful but since we moved here the trees around it have grown so tall the garden has more shade than sun. Here are some photos of the old garden over the last 7 years...

 

Spring has sprung

Here are a few photos from our garden - can you smell the flowers?

Let there be Flowers!

 It is January and it looks like this out...

So I thought I'd cheer myself - and you! - up and post these photos of last summer's flowers.
