I have a beautiful yard now, no garden, but lots of flowers which is what I like! If you have rabbits or deer be sure to account for them with you plant choices... I've learned that the hard way! They don't like herbs, lavender, or lambs ear for sure... Have fun and grow something pretty!Susan - Uniquely Yours or Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010238235454003363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418604357948953617.post-9533189206938184352013-05-28T10:21:11.433-05:002013-05-28T10:21:11.433-05:00I'm glad you found me!

We amended the soil and planted about 15 shrubs and flowers the first year. Second year I just added some annuals and planted a perennial or two. Year three- we planted 23 or so shrubs, knockout roses and trees. <br /><br />It looked good and aside from a few deaths, most plants flourished! <br /><br />Our new house? I'm too damned tired! The former owner had chickens! We have raised beds and amazing soil!<br /><br />And I've bought pansies and petunias!<br /><br />And.. Had two glasses of wine while staring at the beds...<br /><br />Tina@thriftingwithcake.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905141056882884552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418604357948953617.post-78667430419806192022013-05-24T13:37:41.561-05:002013-05-24T13:37:41.561-05:00Wow, what a garden!

It doesn't look like there is any kind of barrier between, just a perfect line of perfectly edged grass next to a perfect garden with perfect rows of veggies.
