Garden Projects Spring 2018

When we moved in last year we focused mainly on the interior of the house.  This spring I wanted to have a vegetable garden and more flower gardens.  Notice I do the wanting.  Bob does the doing.
Bob made these two garden beds on the east side of the house.  We planted a blackberry bush, a blueberry bush and cucumbers in the one nearest the porch and patty pan (white summer squash) and string beans in the farther one.  We had bumper crops of cukes and beans.  The squash is just now ready to pick.  The berries probably won't produce until next year, but we are looking forward to those. 
In the "north forty", Bob made a box with landscape timbers for the forsythia plant, some day lilies and caladium.
We decided the north forty could use a willow tree, too.  It will be fun to watch it grow.
Bob also added a border of landscape timbers for the hydrangea, day lilies, azalea and gladiola plants in front.
The gladiola were magnificent, but the wind battered the stems, so I cut some before they got ruined.
And overnight, this Mexican sombrero appeared.
