There are so many special details to share with you about the new potager, but in the meanwhile, I've recorded a short video to give you a little garden tour of what we've been up to! Since the video, I'm pretty sure my dog has eaten at least two more plants. Yay.

May 25, 2016 at 3:53 amI have seen the pictures but now that i have had a tour I’m so much more invested and inspired. It looks amazing. Now that i have land i need to get up and going too. It also just makes more sense in my head with the video as opposed to pictures. Great job!!!

May 25, 2016 at 5:06 amYou guys have done tons of work! I dreamed of an Aspen tree, and a few years ago I got one — this Fall I need to prune already! I LOVE the door arbor and your topiary trees. Yes. it takes time and you can savor all the steps along the way. Thanks for sharing. Haven’t started my garden, but a friend is mailing me MINT because it grows like weeds at her place. So that will be the start of my garden this year.

January 9, 2017 at 6:01 pmShaye I tried something this past summer that you might want to do in your garden. I put down cardboard in the middles between the rows & the I hauled mulch from where the power line crews had dumped the chipped limbs for anyone who wanted it to get as much as they wanted . it is a first come ,first get thing. I put about 2-3 inches of mulch on top of the cardboard. it will smother out the weeds & rot down too help improve your soil. it made weeding so much easier for me. I am planning to do that again next spring . it also helps hold in moisture .

February 8, 2017 at 2:04 pmLove it! What are the dimensions of your garden? And also you mentioned you would be combatting grass and weeds for a few years because it used to be lawn. Did you kill the lawn before tilling it up? What was your process there?
