The new paver block wall we built last weekend around the last garden bed – finally, all but one garden bed has a border – special thanks to my husband, Eric for helping me with this, it was cool to work together to make this little wall

I like how there are so many different, interesting elements in the garden, you can kinda just wander in there. We didn’t build it all at once so it doesn’t all look the same – and it just works!

I would love to add some more wood chips to the walk ways, now that the garden beds are more defined with borders.

The garden has been such a saving grace during this pandemic.

This year I have been spending so much more time in there, pulling weeds, planning ahead or just sitting and watching the plants grow.

I can’t believe September is almost here and Fall is just around the corner! I have some ideas for Autumn garden cleanup and organizing before next season.
