Our Spring Project

For the past 3 months Jason and I have been working on turning our blank slate of a yard into a beautiful and productive garden. We started with our new home, void of landscape and full of deer. Working nonstop, every evening and all weekend, we have turned it into something that we love to work in and also just sit back and enjoy! Our garden is full of tomatoes, peppers (8-10 different varieties), red potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, carrots, squash, and zucchini. The herb garden off the deck steps is a few feet from the kitchen door for quick access. Our fruit rows include red raspberries, 5 varieties of blueberry, and strawberries. We planted a perennial bed on both sides of the driveway and filled the front beds with oak leaf hydrangeas, Korean spice viburnum, a river birch, and columbine. Please enjoy the pictures of our hard work! The pictures as you scroll down are...front of the house before, fruit rows going in, front of the house now from the top of the driveway, garden, fruit rows, oak leaf hydrangea bloom with Great Spangled Fritillary Butterfly, and blue salvia with coreopsis in the background.
