Garden Project 2013

Every weekend for the past three weeks, we have been working on our garden project. We had a garden fence built, a garden path built and a new stamped concrete pad poured in our fire pit area. Yesterday, Trey, our concrete guy finished sealing the pad. We worked hard and have sore muscles, but it was worth it.

Love, love, love our garden path and new planters. Terry did a great job coming up with the idea. We used the decorative rock from our fire pit area for the path. We had just the right amount of rock.

The stamped concrete pad looks like an old cobblestone street. That's the look we were going for and Trey did a fabulous job!

All those little stalks are what is left of our okra plants. I cut them down close to the ground, then pull the stumps up after we have a good frost. I can't wait for spring 2014!

Me and T have been working on the decorative cross beams for our garden fence the past couple of afternoons. We finished building and putting the last one up yesterday. Lots of hard work and tweaked muscles, but it was worth it. Now onto the next step. TGIF everyone!

Terry worked all weekend on building these planter beds on the inside part of our garden fence. Between the planters and the raised beds we plan on having a path.

Garden Fence

My brilliant hubby came up with the plan for this garden fence. We've been talking about building one for a long time and finally decided to do it. The builders came out this morning and had it finished in 4 hours. We were glad the rains held off until they could get it built. Next year we will have more places to grow sunflowers, beans and who knows what.

Next up, we plan on building a path between the planters and the fence. Take all the decorative gravel out of the fire pit area and pour some concrete. We'll use the decorative gravel on the path with stepping stones.
