First of all, a HUGE thanks to Naomi for her generosity in taking pix of the project for me since our camera was on the fritz. Despite being in the middle of the kitchen remodel, I had the Garden Hoes over the first Saturday in October for a huge project! We cleaned up and mulched the pond garden and we built a beautiful herb and iris bed in front of my garden. It didn't "sound" like a big project in my imagination but, like the kitchen remodel, it got bigger and bigger as we went along. Probably the most time consuming part of the project was removing a miniscule amount of the fill rock that made up the majority of the ground. After removing 5 wheelbarrows full of rocks from the tilled ground, we called it quits, added compost and finished the project.
We forgot to take a "before" photo but remembered pretty early in the day. Here is Naomi tilling up my rock ground in preparation of the bed.
It is beautiful and I can't wait until next year when all the iris come up and, hopefully, bloom amidst all my herbs.
Many thanks to all the Garden Hoes for the awesome job!
