The humble beginnings of what I hope will be a Garden of Eden :o)

like a novice. we don't really know what we're doing, we just put a seed in the dirt, hope for the best and let mother nature take it from there. we do can, freeze and we have a dehydrator for drying. becky i hadn't thought of a scarecrow but now that you mention it the kids are really excited to make one and put it in the " pumpkin patch"

Building a potting bench out of pallets.

For a weekend project my husband and I built this potting bench out of pallets. Such a great way to recycle pallets and also so useful.

Good luck to you too Melissa! I have a bunch of Hostas and Ferns so I'm going to dig 'em up ...»
and start with those. I don't know what variety they are. I'm not sure which gets taller, if the ferns should go in the back hostas in the front, or just mix 'em up? I also have a huge clump of tiger lilly. I don't know that it will bloom there but I think it'll still get nice tall grassy foliage. I have a stell d ?something that could be separated but I really love that plant and am slightly afraid to put it there, should I or maybe no? I have a very small clump of phlox (I never knew what it was so thank you Erica for the link) It's never grown in all the time that I've lived here so it would probably be happy to be moved. To be honest I'm only doing this because I loathe weed wacking it every week ;o) Now that I have a plan keep your fingers crossed that it's not just a huge boulder with a thin layer of dirt I'm trying to plant on, like so much of Vermont is.
