The monster garden
After we laid down the white garden liner in our backyard, our weekend schedules got a little out of whack, and we kept delaying and delaying the purchase of the mulch for the beds. In the meantime, our tightly covered garden started growing mounds like this one above.
I thought they were just monster weeds… until I took a peek and saw that they weren’t just weeds, but rather…
…hidden bulbs! These gorgeous calla lillies were hidden under the liner… as was…
… this beautiful lily!
Of course, there were also lots and lots of weeds…
The good news is that the water is freely flowing through the liner and getting to the soil… unlike what was happening with the old mulch and plastic liner. The bad news, is that weeds grow really really well, so we’ll have to make sure we keep the liner nice and tight so that no one else peeks through!
