My New Flower & Herb Bed - October 14th, 2005 at 10:28 AM
I decided 3 months ago that a 3 foot wide by 50 foot long flower/herb bed would look great along my veggie garden fence. My reasoning: I had recieved a rose bush for mother's day, I knew nothing about roses and still learning as I go, but have managed to keep it going and blooming (It is still blooming) Anyway it looked strange by its self next to the garden fence, So I started thinking, and came up with the bed idea. First I layed old shower curtains down on the ground where I wanted the bed (I'm a pack rat and save everything LOL)Then I had some old tin roofing which I laid on the plastic...This was to try and kill the grass/weeds etc. After about 2 months...I removed the plastic & tin and tilled it up rather deeply...Then placed plastic & tin back over it.
Well today I decided that there were a few plants that HAD to be moved NOW while there is still enough good weather left for the plants to re-establish them selves. I asked hubby how he thought I should proceed...Well I learned a lesson.... NEVER, NEVER ask your spouse when you are the gardener and they only pretend to be. Anyway tommarrow I will post what happened and how I proceeded and try to get a picture so you can see the progress as I get it planted.
