She said that she was down at the Garden on Thursday Night and there was nothing. So between then and now.....We have Sprouts!

Paths in the Garden

The Garden was built in the foundation of an Old Barn that is long gone.

The concrete floor was busted up and removed. The Beds were placed in the cleared area and filled with Top Soil and Leaf Compost.

We are still looking for a solution for the Garden Pathways. Any Suggestions??

We have thought of Straw, Mulch and Crushed Stone.
