Pic of the Day--Garden tour 21

Hi All--In the far back corner of our south lawn area we have the start of an area that we call our nursery. It has a compost pile where we put our newspapers, magazine, cardboard, etc. because it takes longer for those items to break down. The high board walls around it that you see in the first photo were taken down in favor of lower chicken wire for appearances sake. That spot also marks one end of a 220 ft. wide swath of continuous beds. On the uphill side of the beds is the woodland forest. The areas in these two photos show some of what we call our nursery. This is where our extras, volunteers, etc. go while waiting to be needed somewhere else.

It seems that everything here is "up hill."

This part of our garden is about 12-14 M (40 ft.) of elevation above the lower section of the strip of plants next to our driveway that I showed at the beginning of the tour.

Pia--Your bench is coming up in a few days. So, try to catch your breath until then and you'll be able to sit down and rest.

Very nice Hank.

I agree, Pia, it would be nice to have a lovely, large space like that.
