Garden Bed #1

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I am calling this garden bed #1 since it’s the one I redid first. 

I am going to keep track of what emerges in each bed, and what’s planted in each bed, from now on.  I have been sort of slack in this regard!

Here’s what I have so far.  Was lucky to find many of the tags from things planted in this bed through the years:

Bed #1 Diagram (this is a large picture!)

I am trying to identify a few more plants, and then I’ll add to this diagram as I figure it out. Some things may be coming out, too. This bed has a lot in it that won’t come out ’til spring.

This is what can happen when you are too zealously digging out buckets full of mulch.

Yes, that is where I pulled my fingernail back.  Ouch.  Is it sore?  Yes.  But is my garden looking good.  YES.  :)

Mulch Delivery, Ma’am!

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Oh, I was so happy.  Even though it was nearly 5:30 p.m. yesterday evening, I was so happy to see the man from the tree service pull up in front of the house.  He backed his dump truck up into the driveway and left this behind!

I mean, that is a mulch pile!  :)  Any gardener would understand my excitement.  I am going to be out today mulching the beds.  I’ll try to post some pictures when I am done.  I may even have to ride over to Home Depot and see what kind of plants that have that I could work with now.
