I've been in my new house for a little over a year now, and this
spring has given me the opportunity to actually do something with some
of the outside areas that were in need of an overhaul.
May 15th
has come and gone so here in Ohio we're in the safe zone for outdoor
planting. With the help of my trusty 3 year old son we're venturing to
install a couple of perennial beds, and a vegetable garden - which
should be comical. I haven't grown a vegetable garden since I helped my
parents when I was maybe 5 years old. We'll see how much useful
knowledge I retained from that experience....
I'm probably the
type of home owner that landscapers aren't fond of; I have the
motivation to do work myself, but I'm a little thin on the know-how. I
know that one are I need to fill is up against the foundation, and
faces due west - so it get crushed by the afternoon sun. With that in mind my wife enlisted google and found Springhill Gardens. They
sell these pre-planned garden kits, and one of them was titled
"Foundation Sun Garden". A bit on the nose, don't you think?
We'll see how it goes......
