Today we are officially starting the major garden expansion.  I am going to start by ordering the Tagro and gravel necessary to lay the foundation for the garden and if I’m lucky I can get my husband to make a run to the mill outlet on his way home from the driving range (which is right across the street) to pick up the wood needed for the raised beds.  I am going to take advantage of two days of nice weather and shovel as much garden material as possible.

I am finally going to share with you the plan for the garden.  I had anticipated doing this sooner, but somehow I accidentally spilled coffee on my original plan rendering it unreadable to anyone who doesn’t understand coffee stained garden plans.  Although, the coffee gave it a nice aged patina.

What you will note from the plan is that it is not your average garden.  I do like the nice neat rows of a vegetable garden, but I also would like it to be aesthetically pleasing.  This garden is going to be in my front yard so I don’t want to subject my neighbors to anymore boring than I have to.  They already wish I would weed the front flower beds.

This garden also has to look nice in the winter so I do plan on adding a few perennial flowers about to add interest.  I will eventually expand my blueberry plant collection and that will also supply winter interest.

Please excuse my handwriting.  I am very out of practice with my technical writing.
