Week 1 of 2012 Season

Hey Everyone! Liv Here! I thought I would let our family and friends see how Perry Street Gardens is coming along this summer season.

Week One of Perry Street Gardens was April 21st, and Neil and I had decided that it was time to start putting together the garden.  We have been composting all winter long, and since there seems to be no snow in sight, we decided that the time was now.  Besides, our infamous poppies that come up every year were looking good, and if those suckers can be ready to bloom, we needed to be ready to plant!

We decided to get my  herb garden going, re-seed the grass on the right corner of our backyard, plant the front bed with flowers and divide our compost piles for the vegetable garden we planned to put in the next week.  Below are some photos:

Our future projects include: A new fence along the back, a bocce ball court on the left side of the backyard (please oh please Neil!!!), a full vegetable garden, a full herb garden, and lighting to be put up in the backyard.  We have some other decorative ideas that I will be posting as the summer comes along.  Can't wait to share the progress with everyone!
