. . . and confession time. My confession is that I have been meaning to post about this project since last winter or spring! Okay, no more excuses. Here it is.
I now have my own garden.
- Because a certain spot on our property demands to have something done with it.
- Because I think we need this type of garden.
- Because I want to.
- And because I want to learn to garden and I think jumping in with both feet is the only way I am going to accomplish that.
A potager is a mixture of flowers, herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Potagers are usually thought of as formal gardens but they do not have to be formal. Mine will be semi-formal.
The plot of land was previously a raspberry patch, nursery beds, and a let's-put-this-here-until-we-find-a-place-for-it area. Some things we were not able to move this spring (including the raspberries) so it is very much in progress.
Here are a few pictures from this spring:
A "before" picture, after we had cleaned it off some.
Digging up grass clumps.
Measuring and staking.
