You can’t get a much crisper end than that..
Of course, that leads to more weeds, but I feel like it’s really important for me to be able to play around and add a new plant into our gardens whenever the fancy strikes and with the fabric, that’s just really difficult..So last year we took the fabric out of this front garden bed, right beside the driveway, and we were left with this.. We also removed some shrubs that we didn’t like.
We were left with quite a few plants, but also a lot of empty spaces and a lot of weeds.Chris poked in this random hummingbird garden ornament that he found in the garage and that just added to the sad-looking mess.We decided to tackle the garden a couple of weeks ago.
We don’t have a lot (or any) time for upkeep throughout the Summer this year so our plan was to:.a) Fill up as much space with plants as possible to help smother the weeds.. and.
b) Work towards creating a garden that’s full enough with plants that the weeds that do come through aren’t very noticeable at all.. A garden like that takes a lot of years to build up, but we were able to lay the ground work for what this garden will be in the future in just one afternoon..
Eventually, we’re aiming for something that looks like this:.It started out like that and later got re-organized to look like this:.
…which wasn’t really much better..So a few weeks ago we brought in some of these:.
And did this with them:.We hung all the cabinets on the wall and created a little counter for me to sew at.
