Fixing the terrible garden

so i posted the other week about how our garden is all yukka plants and mostly planted on top of the retaining wall and all the drainage pipes (which the broke..) So we have had to rip most of it out. AND i want to plant flowers... and vegetables ... useful things for us and the wildlife... NOT yukkas.. ain't nobody love those. (sorry yukka plants)

Fixing the front corner

so this is a tiny spot next to the house in the front. that had 3 yukka plants that were eating int next doors retaining wall. they were VERY glad we moved in and wanted to remove them.

we removed them a year ago... go the stumps ground a month ago then YESTERDAY i decided to "fix it up"

so i haulled in 20 bags of soil and compost... used the mulch from the stumps as mulch and bought some plants.
$150 latter and we have a cute little area that is NOT three yukka plants.

BEFORE SHOT

sorry i don't have a more wide angle one... these were taken for the stump removal person
you can see how close these are to the retaining wall... it goes down 2meters here. in fact under the surface they were pushing on the wall.

Mid garden planning

i was going to grow own seeds... but... yeah... nope not this time... I HAVE planted some seeds in there though as well.

I built up the ground a touch as rosemary does not like wet feet at all and i wanted a bit more drainage in the area.

it was hard work lugging in all the dirt and compost

Finished

Here is the finished garden

i hope you all like it...

the other side of the driveway is next!!!!

such a lot of mess here....
