BarnCatGardens, to gardening

Our work begins in the dilapidated ornamental garden. First we create a “nursery” bank to temporarily place any plants we can save. Because our soil is so heavy in clay and we are no-till, we first lay down cardboard, then wood fines and finally some rich compost. As the cardboard breaks down over the years it will eventually meld with the soils ecosystem below. (I’m not explaining that very well 🤷‍♀️)

@msquebanh I love that word, rewilding! We have a naturalized area along the creek out back, the ornamental gardens where I’ll be growing extra flowers for sale, the vegetable gardens and the front lawn will be meadowscaped with pathways. I want it all and if it all ends up blended and riotous, so much the better.

@richrollgardener @gardening (pssst, in case you’re interested, these are pansies! Four petals up, one down. Violas have two petals up and three down. I remember that because when you hold two fingers up, it’s a V for Viola. However, a rose by any other name is still beautiful and yours are lush!)
