MY GARDEN, SHARE YOURS

[Underdog]

Really what it's all about right?

It’s still a work in progress. I just finished the slate chips this week. Now I got to get the grass right.

In that last picture; look at all that un-utilized bonsai space next door. . . What a waste! Lol

I think they might be going for that natural, minimal look. It has a certain je ne sais quoi.

Looks nice. I visited the Japanese House (Shofuso) in Philly and asked a caretaker how they keep their stone areas maintained. He said "DAILY cleaning"! I have a crushed stone path that turns to dirt in no time. Not to rain on your parade, just saying you now have another hobby.

Some before and after of my garden...

 

[PiñonJ]

Had some rocks delivered...

Put in some time in the studio and moved some trees in...

@PiñonJ just a suggestion, put some 2x4 end caps on your benches. It will give it a little strength and keep your boards from twisting.

Thanks, I also thought about mounting ‘outriggers’ underneath. Should have done it from the start, though. It gets so dry here and the sun is so intense that it’s almost impossible to avoid warping.

Benches look great. Cool to see the grouping after you shared the single bench in a different thread.

Damn man do you live in the literal desert? How far away is civilization?? Lmao. Awesome setup though, I definitely appreciate the clean cut look.

Here is mine. It isn't quite finished yet but we are almost there. It is part of a larger garden in our front and side yard. Part of the mandate from the wife was that it had to look interesting and I wanted to incorporate it into my vegetable garden as well. Sun is limited on our property so I had to choose wisely. This area gets 6+ hours of full sun daily. I included pictures of the rest of the garden. The silver wash tub will be planted with annuals soon.

Think a million years from now.....some futuristic archeologists will come upon this sight and say, "the presence of this "non-native" soil is puzzling, arranged in such a pattern.....with trace evidence of human civilization....plant matter, pottery shards.....odd shaped cutting instruments....."


"This can of Guinness, fossilized, would indicate a very spiritual place, truly a gift for 21st century Earth....."

Put the finishing touches on it this morning. The sun burst pattern mimics a similar pattern in the gable of our house.

A lot of nice gardens being posted. Mine is still progressing rather slowly, so everything is jammed together on the deck. A rather sorry mess right now. Plenty of deer around (I suspect my next door neighbor feeds them). I’ve placed the less palatable trees on the edges to protect the more edible ones further in. Well, it was a good thought anyway.

Deer....that is how my whole garden got started. It evolved into a project that eventually took over 75% of my front and side yard. You have been warned...
