I finally strung the prayer flags across the back of the enclosed garden. They are a beautiful royal blue and move effortlessly in the breeze.
I’m curious to see how this small enclosed garden progresses, I don’t have a solid plan for it. I have some ideas but they are a little vague at this point.
The tomatoes were put in simply to protect them from the dogs and hens, I won’t put them in every year and if I do, there won’t be many, maybe two or three. I planned to put the tomatoes out front where they would get more sun and be safe from the aforementioned beasts but the season got away from me. I mean, how is it April already?
I like that the space is a work in progress and to think it all started because I found a length of picket fence along the side of the road. We took our time constructing the rest of the fence, M. went to great lengths making the new pickets. The only thing we did not do was paint it. Maybe someday, but I’m not sure that it needs to be painted.
The rest of the garden is coming along nicely as well. I amended the hell out of the soil. It was fried and really needed a boost. So far I’ve made a good home for eggplant, onions, mint, zucchini, lettuce, collards, kale, chard, carrots and leeks. I know I’m forgetting a few other players. Oh, the peppers! Yes, and cucumber and radishes. There’s so much going on out there. It’s a veritable vegetable metropolis.
Like I said, I have ideas. And I like that the garden is a reflection of all that I imagine.
Love the new blog. I think the picture size is fine (full disclosure: I'm on my phone). I'll try to remember to look at it on a computer tomorrow.
