as we prepare for the urban gardening festival, lots of new exhibits are taking shape. due to the continuing issues with root knot nematodes, we are experimenting with methods of vertical gardening. even better is that this method repurposes milk jugs that would otherwise have gone into the trash.
the rain garden has gotten a lot of attention this spring. the basin has been weeded and aerated. the grasses and sedums on the berm have been thinned and we are preparing to dig out some of the excess plants for sale at the festival.
the square foot garden is shaping up nicely. if you would like to garden and have little space, you should consider this method because it really works.
the herb garden has gotten a new fence and it looks like a whole different place! we are experimenting with hugelkultur in the herb garden so keep visiting the blog to see the progress of the plants.
this little block garden is already producing large amounts of herbs!
the seeds i planted in the keyhole garden are sprouting-i cannot wait to start picking lettuce and greens.
want to learn about composting? let us help you, we have several methods in use at the garden.
tiarella, the current rock star in the shade garden
i love this combination; golden creeping jenny, blue spruce sedum and dragon's blood stonecrop.
beans are ready to grow up! climb the vertical garden, climb!!!
before you know it, the false blue indigo in the rain garden will be the star of the show
and of course, the nematode remediation plot. the mustard and rape seed have sprouted, just waiting for the marigolds to get going. we hope this works!!!
