My Designer Gardens

North view





William and I have been VERY BUSY! William has been working very hard to complete these square foot garden boxes. They were my Mother's Day gift. They still aren't done as you can see. We have had a lot of rain and they have been time consuming for William. I have helped with them, but they have been a big project. The boxes are William's design. They are made out of aluminum and have a great drainage system. William is working so they are on an mechanical timing watering system. The tall spikes in the garden are the water spickets.

The tallest garden is my herb garden. I love it. Hopefully tomorrow we can get the rest of the box gardens finished, and plant the remaining seeds and transplants in them.

We both are excited about these! We placed them on the south side of our home where we have the most sun. This makes them highly visible. William is getting many compliments on them.

I must admit, I have never ENJOYED gardening so much! It's been a pure delight. I have been shopping for seeds and transplants, planting flowers and plants, watering, weeding our flower gardens, learning more information, etc. It's been so fun to plant everything in the gardens and to be a caretaker of the gardens.

Now we need a good compost system, to mulch our gardens and to complete this project.

Thank you William. He knew I always desired flower and vegetable/herb gardens. I would try to come up with my own version, but his design of both is so superior to anything I ever could dream up. I am grateful for his creativity and his desire to make my dreams happen. I'm a blessed woman!
