My Secret Garden

Here are some pictures of my backyard garden. I ordered flowers, plants and bushes from Springfield Nurseries in March. They came in a partial box. Linda, my next door neighbor, helped me lay them out onto newspapers to keep them moist in the basement. As we were waiting for the correct boxes to arrive. After I designed the gardens, Matt, Linda's husband, built them with landscape timbers. I put topsoil and laid garden fabric on top with mulch on top of that. Daisy helped me plant the partial shipment. When the final two boxes arrived. Linda and I planted those two boxes. Like Marlo Thomas said in "Free to Be You and Me", "It is more fun to do housework together." Well, garden work here. But anywork applies. We had a blast doing this project and the garden continues to be a topic of discussion on Market Street. All the neighbors have stopped by to enjoy! Stop by when you are in town and take a gander. Take time and watch a garden grow. I love you.
