Last spring, I decided to transform my grassy backyard into my personal secret garden. I used the "lasagna" gardening technique to get rid of all the grass without having to pull it out. I planned out my garden and began the first plantings at the end of May. This is whow it looked barely two months later! The tall perennials are still small, but growing. The hostas have it made in the shade. The ground covers are starting to cover and the chocolate mints are spreading and smelling delicious, as is the Russian sage and other herbs. Come and see how things are growing in my garden. Thanks!
