Worth, you're building a palace and eating like a king!
Awesome arbour design and the colour scheme rocks. So nice to see such a lush green garden in April. |

Worth I have looked through all of this from end to end and I must say thanks for starting this and sharing all of your pix. It was most rewarding and thanks to everyone who kept you going.

Okay I really am finished now.
This is what happens when you don't have anyone to argue over design and color. I put the post extensions on the short ends to make everything even. Painted the lanterns yellow and put gothic top knots on the ends of the four main posts. Yesterday I also put up welded wire fence so the gourds and beans can climb to the top.

Is it a Medlar Fruit tree (Mushmula) in the back?

I'm the same way.
I took the one picture of the entry gate posts of our second garden because they're probably the only thing I'll leave the way it is. (Except, I need to pour concrete around the posts.) For me, the main three things were: (A) Make it difficult for rabbits to get in, (B) To grow anything to get ideas for the future *, (C) Control and eventually weed out the Johnson grass and other bad weeds. *= I'm not sure on a lot of basic things like which way to turn rows of plants, or would growing a wild looking type garden be fun and useful? https://www.google.com/search?q=wild...g&ved=0CDQQsAQ There are a lot of things to think about. Planting berries would be nice. Hydrangeas would be fun to play around with too... by making planter boxes with 7.0 neutral soil in the middle - alkaline soil to one side - and acidic soil to the other providing white, pink, and blue hydrangeas. I've been thinking about this garden for most of my life. Last edited by AlittleSalt; April 14, 2015 at 10:25 AM. |

Future home of 4'X8' onion bed.
The 6 flags in a row are the bed 27 inches away from the other pepper patch. The two flags offset to the right are my lawn sprinkler heads. I had this planned out some time ago. Worth IMG_201504140334.jpg |

I dug this wild native pepper plant up out of the garden before it put out leaves and planted it here.
it is the second time it has been transplanted since I found it growing from seed some other place in the yard. It looks happy to me. IMG_2015041529958.jpg |
