Building A Raised Bed Garden
Gardening is a never ending series of "projects" - that's part of the fun; planning and scheming about what we are going to do. Some of them are small and get done fairly quickly and others take a bit more time. Some of mine have been going on for years and still aren't finished. My raised bed garden is one of these. It's been a "work in progress" for nearly ten years.

Perennial Foliage For Early Winter
The tree and shrub leaves have drifted over my borders and most perennials in my garden have retreated underground, or into tight rosettes, for the winter. Nevertheless, a jaunt around the garden found several perennials whose leaves are still very much in evidence; aiding the evergreen trees and shrubs in furnishing the early winter garden.
