Janietta's around the back of the house garden

Created on Thursday, 21 Feb 08

There was nothing here but damaged siding from the lawnmowers and edgers the service the previous owners used. Putting in foundation gardens is supposed to be a great way to help your siding and basements out, plus, an excuse to plant a garden!

This was actually the first garden we put in, because we put some transplants from our previous house there until their more permanent homes were ready.

This is a completely south facing, no shade ever garden, except for one little bumpout that gets late afternoon shade, because it faces east.
