The first garden in 2009 was a disaster of weeds and clay. Thanks to the internet and the many gardening books my research lead me to raised bed gardening and it's been a joy since. My family growing up always had a garden so when I married and moved to this home it was the natural thing to do. It's become a place of healing and better therapy then I ever imagined. It's constantly evolving and spreading and may soon include more of the front yard. Watch out neighbors!
My friend Lisa had great idea to put them on nights not cold enough in the refrigerator. I down potted them (they were in huge clay pots) and now they have spent a couple nights in Hotel de Frigidaire. They already have these cool spiny leaves.This is an aerial of Skippy's garden. I wish I could take pictures of mine this way. That's another thing to add to the renovation list, a window to look down on my garden so I can take aerial photos.
I trimmed the onions back to 2 inches and the artichokes are off to a good start. But my cuttings look like dead stems.
