Whimsy in the Garden

July 24, 2008 By Carol Michel 19 Comments

If you go out very early in the morning, before the dew has dried on the grass, you might find a bit of fairy lace, left behind by a garden fairy hurrying off at the first light of dawn to hide beneath the shrubs or in the shade under the leaves of cucumber vines in the vegetable garden.Later in the morning, the lace disappears. Who knows who or what comes and takes it away, it just disappears as the sun dries the dew on the grass.Across the way, the foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) blooms.

Garden Bloggers’ Design Workshop – Paths and Walkways

November 28, 2007 By Carol Michel 16 Comments

Look!From the space station, or the moon or somewhere up there, you can see my raised bed vegetable garden with its paths (compliments of Google Earth).When I take pictures of the garden from ground level, it doesn’t really show how the beds are laid out and you can’t see all the paths. Good paths are key to a raised bed garden like this.The paths should be wide enough to accommodate a wheelbarrow and allow you to walk all the way around each raised bed.
