LOOKING BACK-  Getting started



Husband's labor of love:

A whole lot of planning went into this adventure!  This was an initial drawing that evolved into something totally different.  We both wanted to experiment with a designed based on a portager (French for kitchen garden)

 which is basically the use of plots instead of rows and includes herbs, vegetables, and edible flowers.

The tilling began the spring of 2009, I think.  It took many hours of labor on my hubby's part, but we both think it was worth it.  It's hard to believe that our back yard was ever this bare.  Boy, has it changed!
