Beginnings of a garden walk way started on June 2nd 2013
We try and do a little something around the house every week to keep up with the yards insistence on turning back into a forest.
Yesterday that project was to move 12 wheelbarrows of compost over to the “hosta prison’s” entrance and make a nice little garden area.
I plan to plant some creeping jenny in that area (an invasive ground cover) to fill in around–a yet to be built–stone walkway. We always try and make use of natural components in our yard projects. Not only does it save $$ but it also makes it fit the environment better and ties everything together.
I have a tray of plugs (creeping jenny cuttings) we made last year that will start this garden off. I’ll try and snap a picture or two of one of the existing gardens that are currently being overrun with this stuff. I sometimes wonder if it wouldn’t be easier to just let it take over the lawn (no more cutting the grass for us).
Today (Sunday) was far too muggy to work, so instead, we went to home depot and picked up some cement stepping stones to fill in until I find the perfect flat rocks in the woods.
