We still need to get the river pebbles for the ground cover. I think we decided that that would be best for the cat issue.
but before we get the pebbles we have a whole other garden to fill with dirt. Yes we have finally completed the raised garden bed in the back yard for the vegetables/edibles!!

Well...the budget is the limit, but it can wait till next year...
I did have two grape vines, Concord and Pink Catawba, that I purchased from a big box store, the same time that I purchased the Flowering Plum tree we put in the front yard. Wouldn't you know...they never budded out, or grew, they were dead when I purchased them...so those got returned today, and because they didn't have any live grape vines at that store, and I really wasn't keen on spending another $25 on vines or plants at that store I came back to Smithville and went to Pack's Hardware. Man oh MAN do they have a fabulous selection of annuals, perennials and edibles! And their plant gal Terry is phenomenal! I hope you have a place just as good in your neck of the woods as I do in mine...I ended up getting another Catawba vine, and of course they were out of the Concord, they are such popular vines because the fruit is delicious! I decided to try a "King of the North Grape" I will do another post later all about the grapes...
I did also decide to purchase some vegetable plants, so I chose two types of beans, and a tomato plant. I will probably end up with several types of tomatoes, and possibly some other vegetables, but this is a good start for my first garden!
Happy Spring and Happy Gardening!
