It looked incomplete so Hubby added a cedar fence that enclosed a very large area. And he added a box that ran the legnth of the fence. So last year, we had a total of 4 boxes and a fence and arbor.
This year, I asked for more 2 boxes. I should really know better...
We now have:- 3 ~ 4'x4' boxes
- 2 ~ 4'x8' boxes
- 2 ~ 2'x12' boxes
- 1 ~ 2'x20' box
Last year we left the walkways natural. We figured that we could just weedwhack when needed but there was a terrible side effect of weedeating...All the weeds flew into our beautiful beds. So this year all the walkways have been convered in weed barrier fabric and await mulch. Which brings us back to The Great Mulch Debate.
Although, we may be debating what color to choose we have chosen where to buy the Mulch. Our favorite garden shop has re-opened for the season. We stopped in to the Backyard Farmer and had a great conversation with Brian about our plans for our gardens and about his plans for the shop this year. Apparently, I can now get an ice cream when picking out my herbs! We will get our mulch on Saturday (weather permitting). Brian recommended Preen for one of my flower beds that was taken over by crabgrass last year. So I'm anxious to give the Preen a try.
What a Great Gardening Weekend!

I love the stone path!
The Backyard Farmer is in the wrong direction for me but perhaps I'll stop in over the summer.
