Advice from the Owner
My new garden is so much more interesting than the Kentucky bluegrass lawn I replaced. I enjoy sitting on my glider rocker and checking on each of the 45 plants now abiding in my front lawn. The tip I have to offer is to use "flags" (I recycled the ones used to mark my utilities) and number them to match the plant by number map that came with the Garden In A Box kits. I put the flags in each hole I dug so I would know what to plant. Can't wait till next spring to see what happens!
