June 13th - 15th, 2018

I have been following my Gardening Strategy as outlined in the beginning of this site and it seems to be working out rather well, the only thing I haven't done is side dress with compost after the plants had flowered, but it wasn't needed.

This Artichoke is jammed up in between the Spaghetti Squash and Bee Balm. Bee Balm is just starting to flower.

This imperial star Artichoke is on the retaining wall in front of the fence.

Artichoke with Rosemary, Blackberry, Marigolds and some unidentified plant I'm letting grow.

Hugelkultur bed #2 Section #4

Left Raised bed on hill

Grapes, Raspberry, Swiss Chard

Blueberries, Comfrey, Maypops, Hollyhock.

Some random pictures of how I have been managing my new strategy, "nothing is removed" and "Interplanting". This would drive my Mom nuts! If there's a bare spot, I put something there like crimson clover, trimmed plants, bark, onions that sprouted etc...

Every now and then I'll dig in an old bagel, bread, some paper etc... I also add kraft packing paper, thin cardboard and tuck them in the back of the beds.

Pond.

Koi Pond Patio Planter with Leeks and a Gerbera Daisy. This is our Compromise planter, I wanted leeks, she wanted flowers.
