Garden BEFORE cleanup and after




Thanks to my schedule at Jo-Ann's the past 1 1/2 years this is what our little garden turned into. We burned off the weeds last night and Scott tilled in some compost and shredded paper. Then he planted some garlic and potatoes. I may regret cutting the Rosemary so far back but it was just too out of control. The wind mill actually needs some sanding, painting and oiling. Some of the beds need to have their frames rebuilt and filled back up and the entire garden needs fresh mulch on the pathways. We have an eletric wire around the perimeter to keep Amelia from digging the garden completely up. I've brushed it a couple times and you definitely know about it after one run in with it... OUCH! We have to remind people that it is a "live wire" when they come to visit. If small children are here we unplug it so they won't get hurt. The trick is to turn it back on before Amelia realizes that it is off. She can completely dig out a bed in about 5 minutes flat.
