Garden Layout Redux Finished

Before: Sort of, I don't have a good aerial picture of the garden in its hey day.




















After: The dirt mounds, here come the weeds! Ugh!





















 Garlic Beds I made last fall when we didn't have the design laid out. They are roughly 6 feet wide instead of the 4 foot we would like all the beds to be. So In the last picture you can see how the path way just stops right at the garlic bed, we'll be continuing that path once the garlic is all pulled in July. We will also be filling in the garlic path ways that run horizontal to all the vertical paths, making the garden uniform. I needed little paths because I'll have to weed and water the garlic partially by hand since the drip lines are placed where the permanent bed shape will be so about 2 feet of the garlic I'll have to water by hand.  If that makes any sense....

  1. An absolutely amazing transformation, you must have more than doubled your square footage of growing area!

    1. Thanks!! I'm really excited, and rather daunted to be honest. I'm not sure what to do with all this extra space!
