We worked a lot in the yard this last month. Abe (my son-in-law) helped me mix the soil for the first three vegetable beds. We used the recipe from the Square Foot Garden book. Joel helped me mix the soil for the last two vegetable beds and the long flower bed at the back of the property.
Joel worked very hard to get the drip systems in. Now we just set the time and just like magic - it gets watered!
I love the back flower bed. Joel gave me money for the flowers for a birthday gift. Bless him. I had so much fun in the green house picking out some of my favorite flowers.
The little garden by the fence (with the three white trellises) is planted with Zinnias and Sweet Peas.
I decided to try growing tea roses - again. I hope the Idaho winters will spare them! I planted those in Southern exposures, next to the house. Hope it is warm enough.
I had so much fun planning this yard. Joel is a sweetheart to execute all of my dreams in this yard. Thank you Joel!
Keep checking back. I will be putting gravel around all the vegetable beds and under the trampoline. We are going to put in a water feature soon.
Joel gave me a lounge chair for my birthday. He said it is a place to sit and enjoy my gardens and yard.
