Hurricane Sandy is what it took to finally take down the crooked chimney. After a few weeks of no hot anything we finally got a new one and suddenly had our neighbors yard with a literal ton of bricks. In the quest to utilize everything to the fullest an expanded garden design was created.
Put together 2 new 6" raised beds with the rubble. The one to the left became a pea bed and the one to right was devoted to strawberries.
25 organic "seascape" strawberry crowns arrive in early April. Had to stick with a South Shore scheme. They are also supposedly very delicious everbearing variety.
They don't look like much at first...
3 weeks later and I'm already undertaking the terrible dead of pinching off the hundreds of flowers they are producing. Going to keep it up until July in order to get stronger fruiting plants late this year and more production for the next few years.
Pea trellises made from cotton twine and maple tree branches that were pruned last year. Have about 40 pea plants starting to climb not including the thinnings that went into salads.
Very ingenious!
