Gorgeous images. Beautiful squashes and hibiscus and marshmallow and garlic and flowers of all sorts. I miss yall! Wish we were neighbors. Damn.
Wow! So much accomplished! I love the keyhole bed concept (forget where I first learned of it....).
All I managed (after days of Irene clean-up) was re-planting 100 strawberry crowns, formerly buried in weeds and just about dried out.
Jack, I need someone to school me about how to keep a strawberry bed productive.
DanaD, YES! Let's create a wormhole.
And I need to start growing sedum for my bees!
