I may have to move/redo certain things, but that's part of the fun - finding out what works and what doesn't. The leach field is sore spot but the peace and tranquility of living in the country is more than worth it, as I'm sure you'll agree :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-54120205571984049362017-07-07T14:17:08.458-04:002017-07-07T14:17:08.458-04:00Landscape design is always a challenge, but fun. ...Landscape design is always a challenge, but fun. The beds on my property have developed by evolution over a number of years, because it took time to see where plantings should go. I don't think beds that are a little far are so much of a problem, as long as you can get water to them. They can grow crops that don't need much maintenance, or are only harvested once or infrequently. My leach field has only grass, but I built a flower bed over the two tanks, with groundcover directly over the tanks and small perennials around the edges of the tanks, to hide the blue plastic bulb over one of the tanks. Good luck.

I'm quite excited about the cutting flower bed - it was always in the long term plan, but I'm thrilled that it will be a reality a lot sooner than I thought. Now if I could only figure out how to squeeze a greenhouse into the short range plan, I would be all set :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-10630728904957210322017-07-02T05:23:51.122-04:002017-07-02T05:23:51.122-04:00They do say that a garden is never finished.

I'm looking forward to seeing which plants you choose. Glad you enjoyed the fling and looking forward to hearing more about that too.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
