In the raised bed, I decided to do 3 rows down the middle and put my tomatoes in the lower bed. Hopefully things will work out a little better this year.
Here's a photo of the raised bed, all the seeds went in this morning:
I also started a journal this year for my gardening, I figure it would be nice to be able to reference what I've done for years to follow. Go figure right? It's also one of my 'resolutions' for this year. I hate new year's resolutions, so I more have a 'more and less' list of goals in mind, and it so happens that the end of the year is one of the times I review that list.
Here is what I did with the side of the house yesterday:
Last year was our first summer in our house, and I pretty much spent most of it taking out what was already there, 2 ugly ugly bushes and TONS of weeds. So, my sweet Dad brought me some nice nandinas towards the end of summer that he was separating/loving for me until I was ready for them.
I quite like how it's looking, I bought some really pretty begonias, and 2 other flowering plants that I already forgot the name of, and of course didn't write down.
Lets hope the mulch helps and it all will still look nice through the summer.
I saw a thumbnail of your raised bed picture and was hoping that the bubbles said things like "I sure hope a bunny does not eat me!" or "Ewww a worm just crawled across my root!" :)
