As you may recall from a previous post, the early May storm left a few pine trees in our garden (and on top of my compost bins). I had been making improvements to the garden area, but now it was basically time to start over. After a lot of chainsawing, mulching, and planting, the garden is back in respectable form. The fire pit is a recent addition. It was in serious need of some TLC when I found it abandoned on the curbside. A little scrubbing and some high-heat paint was all it took. I also added some signs to the side of the storage shed, planted some blackberry and blueberry bushes along the fence posts, and built compost bins (not pictured) out of ones I recycled from a friend's house. At this point, my only complaint about the garden is that it's not very "modern," but there's always time to make adjustments later.
A few ideas for future reference:
Nice Fence Design from Apartment Therapy
Sun Sails from Apartment Therapy
Raised Beds and colorful accents from Drummond Home in KC
Modern Planters from Studio Built
For now, we have a nice little spot to sit and watch our food supply (or at least a very small portion of it) grow.
