Back yard garden before-






When we moved to our new house in May, there were these great planter beds already defined. Even though they were filled with gravel I knew they would make a wonderful garden.With summer just around the corner my pots were set in the beds until I figured out what I would plant. I originally thought this would be a shaded garden, but soon found out through the summer it received more sun than I expected. My plan shifted to garden that would take full sun to partial shade. The gravel was all removed, along with many scorpions, and many, many, many insects. The fig tree puts off nice shade, but presents a problem for grass to grow. That is another issue to tackle after the bed was planted.
