Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?
If you are past a certain age you might remember that little saying, 'Mary, Mary, quite contrary. How does your garden grow?' Well, today I am so excited to finally have a new flower garden circle where once a very tall tree grew.
Two months ago we had the tree taken down and the stump ground out. That was just the beginning of our work.
First, Dave & I carted away an endless amount of woodchips and sawdust.
Then we had topsoil delivered to build a mound.
Add a few (really a lot) of rocks around the circle to keep the soil from washing away during heavy rains.
Then came the fun part a visit local garden center. I had to contain myself as I wanted to buy one of everything but I know these plants will spread out once they take root.
Even better, I included a few herbs in the garden since this is now the sunniest location on our property. Yes, we live in a little house in the woods, just like "Little Red Riding Hood.'
Go ahead and say it, "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?"
Quite well, thank you.
