Looks like you two have been busy. I would love that bed of rich soil.Is a new perennial bed in the works or are you going into the pumpkin business. LOL!
This flower bed is brand new. It's opposite the pumpkin patch bed. Well hopefully it's opposite it. It's kind of hard to find the edge because of the pumpkins. The bed was made by edging the lawn, spreading newspaper over the grass and covering it with 4 inches of sweet peat. Come spring the grass will be composted and we can plant flowers. Pat say we will plant flowers.
Hi Jim and Pat. Thanks for the pic on blotancal. I am new and just getting the hang of it. I loved the turkey in the previous post. Your kidney shaped bed teases of things to come. Your blog is enjoyable to read.
I never touched a plant till Pat and I moved to Cleveland from Chicago. Our house came with trees and trees and more trees. it also came with overgrown landscaping that hadn't been tended to for 15 years. Pat's always been the gardener. I love hanging out with Pat and I know how to use a shovel. Along the way I discovered a love of gardening. But first, We had to take 12 trees down and 40 dead bushes out. Hosta, ligularia, and sedum are my favorite plants.
Our yard is clay. Clay, clay and more clay. Clay all the way to the center of the earth. The people at the conservation district told us that " we're at the wrong end of the glacier". I nodded the nod of the intimidated and have repeated it ever since. We are true belivers in sweet peet and work in 15 yards every spring. Our back yard faces north and is a good 6 feet lower than the house. Most of the back yard is moist year round. Except for the north east corner, the yard is under shade or partial shade. The front yard is mainly sunny. We are in zone 5b.

Looks like something's afoot in your yard, could that be a new flower bed?
Wow, this looks like a plan!

If that were in my garden, I'd be just itching to get out there and put plants in it! Love the shape. -Jean
Hmmm...is this the start of many Wordless Wednesdays for us to put the puzzle pieces together?!
You have inspired me to plant Hostas. Thanks.
Hmmmm, is this a new space to add to your wonderful hosta collection? I love the shape and the earth is so rich looking.
Enjoy planting.
