About this Garden Plan

We enjoy a temperate climate here. The triangular gardens were my very first "big" gardens, built mid 2011 by my lovely hubby. They are situated just out from the deck, purposely put there so that they were "in my face". A gardener I was not! The irregular shaped garden is actually not raised at all, and has just been put there in the last 3 months. This season will be it's first growing. I've got 4 other distinct food factories, one I can't publish, due to it's size (shame, because it's beautiful!). That garden is the medicinal and herb garden, brand new (the area is still grass as I type) but it's one of the most sunny spots with a bit of room.
