Winter Prep for the Garden

We had such a successful garden this year we thought we would do a little prep for next years garden. John Boulter came up today to help us (THANK YOU, JOHN). We first had to take out a stump that was the root of an overbearing bush in the corner of the garden. Between Tristan, John and the Ax, the stump was removed in short order. After that it was matter of tiling the whole garden (once again, THANK YOU, JOHN) not just the half we used this year. It is amazing how quickly it happens with a tiling machine.

The area underneath the bedroom window was tiled. There is a lot of sunshine here year round so we planted tulip (my favorite) and daffodil bulbs here. I can't wait until next March/April for them to come up!

We are already planning our garden layout for next year. I think we will start earlier!

We discovered "square foot gardening" and love it. It is pretty easy to do. We could get sooooo much to grow in a pretty small space. We found it at the library and then bought a copy for ourselves after renewing it 4 times. We are looking forward to next year's crop, too!
