I also make my beds 36 inches wide, but then I use the biodynamic, French Intensive method where the optimum distance apart for plants (9 inches in all directions for broccoli, for example) keeps weeds at bay and makes more of a 'community' for each type of plant. We'll talk about that when we see each other, though. And I'm all for roundup when necessary!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571791171336069727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-57007656465559317652011-06-15T02:57:47.755-07:002011-06-15T02:57:47.755-07:00It looks great.

Lilacs are one of my favorites too! Although after seeing yours I think mine need a little maintenence!

However, we've had some asparagus (planted three years ago), strawberries (planted by the former owners) and rhubarb (planted last year). I also had some onions come back up from last year - apparently I missed some! Hopefully next year will be better.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16790268214042052098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-75960213544180462292011-06-12T08:52:03.867-07:002011-06-12T08:52:03.867-07:00I LOVE what you have going on~ I will have to show...I LOVE what you have going on~ I will have to show the hubby your rows~Catherine Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483004889144796699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-71414262768905653572011-06-12T08:27:37.460-07:002011-06-12T08:27:37.460-07:00Jackie, what a wonderful garden space!

My mom has many vintage dresses of her mom's that she wants to give to someone who might use them. Thing is, Grandma was 5'1 and weighed 123 pounds. It seems you might be somewhat taller than that. But if I am misjudging, just say so! If you have an interest, please email me at LdyChef2K at yahoo. Happy Sunday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
