I like your pond, and your beds. I have beds with rock around them too but have only perennials & non-edibles planted in them. I'm thinking about digging out the hosta that is in one of them (before it comes up all the way) and put in some edibles. I am growing veggies and herbs in pots, though. I might start eliminating some more perennials and making more beds into veggie gardens...at least, that's a 'thought'. I'm probably too addicted to my flowering blooms to give them up;-)Jan (ThanksForToday)http://www.ThanksFor2Day.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-12644622085786955642010-04-07T04:56:25.000-06:002010-04-07T04:56:25.000-06:00You have a most charming home and garden.

The ventomatic is very clever - It is showing it's wear. After spring I hang it back up in the garage. Yes, manure would not be many's choice. Of course, I say it in fun. But, it really is the only thing I can think of that I want, other than 2 weeks in January in Mexico. :)Gloria Bondenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-2611054269967233342010-04-03T21:57:48.000-06:002010-04-03T21:57:48.000-06:00Deborah, it snowed a bit again this afternoon.

It is often the thought of these kinds of major projects which is worse than actually carrying them out, I always think. Also, I am a great believer in utilising whatever material comes to hand - you are making very good use of your surplus rock.<br><br>A wedding anniversary gift of buffalo manure is, to say the least, certainly different. But then, dear Gloria, you are most obviously a dedicated gardener so all is readily explained!<br><br>My warmest wishes to you both for a very happy and peaceful Easter.Edith Hopehttp://edithhopegardenjournal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-46863442465361215872010-04-02T19:44:23.000-06:002010-04-02T19:44:23.000-06:00A very nice tour.
