We have been working like crazy people to turn our once-lawned front yard into a garden. Ala “Food not Lawns” with some Tasha Tudor-esque border (a girl needs flowers, not just food!). I wanted to show off the amazing fence and arbor that my fantastically handy husband built for us:
So purty, isn’t it? Behind the fence you will find the starts for delphinium’s, poppies, lavender, blue potatoes, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bok choy, spinach, broccoli, beets, calendula, st. john’s wort, echinacea, forget-me-nots, lupine’s, various japanese maples (like August Moon!), lilies, sweet peas, sugar snaps, pumpkins, watermelon, 4 different kinds of heirloom tomatoes, oinions, garlic, motherwort, valerian, artichokes…and more!
Our next project is tackling the backyard…and I after receiving Tasha Tudor’s Garden for Mother’s Day…I am newly inspired!
