I mentioned last week that I’ve been busy mulching the paths around the kitchen garden. Here’s what it looks like now:
Sorry for the crappy photo quality; I took the photo through the window of the girls’ toy room.
Anyway, I know this all looks overwhelmingly brown, but from the ground it’s not like that. The main kitchen garden is the large rectangle in the middle and you can see the stepping stones I’ve used to divide the garden into eight sections and to enable me to walk between planting areas.
I still have more mulching to do at the top around the raised bed for strawberries.
The skinny strip along the fence is blueberry bushes, grapevines, and flowers. The area at the bottom is for peonies and, eventually, more flowers. The area to the right is roses, hydrangeas, and other flowers and herbs.
As you can see, my plants need to do a lot of growing to fill in.
Way back in the upper left corner, I have raspberries and this spring planted two apple trees. I hope to plant more apples and also cherry trees at some point.
I’m planning to start planting edamame and cannellini beans this weekend and, in another 10 days or so, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and more!
