In Part 2 of this backyard garden project, I:
* Realized 15 bags of soil gets you… basically nowhere
* Ordered a truckload like a completely reasonable person
* Learned that berries are way more high maintenance than expected
* Planted pollinators, pest deterrents, and probably a little chaos

Also—yes, my husband is doing great. Thriving, actually… mostly because he didn’t do any of the work 😂
So if you’ve ever thought about starting a garden (or accidentally started one like I did), you’re in the right place.
If you want to grow some overpriced tomatoes yourself… follow along, we’ll learn together 🍅

I love your design, but how do you get a wheelbarrow through the walkways?
What kind of wood did you use for the planters
Your design is so nice
Raspberries will shoot runners all over your garden. They should be well contained unless you want them growing feet away anywhere they decide.
Immediately your design is better
OMG that Looks so pretty. Did you put the Blueberries in a container? If you plant them in the soil they will die, although you put acidic soil in the whole. The Worms and microorganisms in the soil will re-mix normal soil with the acidic one. And blueberries don‘t Like ‚norma’ soil at all.
Love it! I’m on my gardening journey too. I have my raised beds in but am looking for an arch. Can you link the one you decided on?
Plant mint they really help keep mosquitoes and centipedes away. However i highly suggest you plant in them in pots i learned that one the hard way unfortunately lol and now i have about 10 pots of mint planted around my house and the smell when the morning dew and the wind blows through is absolutely amazing. I’m currently thinking of planting lemongrass on flower beds on the south and north facing windows so the smell carries through the house when i have my windows opened
Where did you get your cucumber trellis
Wow beautiful big backyard 😍
Bonnie plants are not all organic.
i didn’t watch the video but your husband was right
Love this!!! Do you have the links for the beds and the trellis and arch?
It is gorgeous. I feel motivated now.
The husband's garden looks practical while the wife's garden are more anesthetic.
I kind of am abit of both. Love the practicality while making it look pretty.
Setting up an irrigation system will make life so much easier! I thought it was going to be so hard but it’s super simple ❤ beautiful set up
Looks fantastic!
Why the cardboard if you already had landscape fabric?
From a pest prevention and harvesting set up, yours appears to be easier to keep up with. Although I love them both.
The design is very nice. I see it a lot popping up everywhere. Please fill your soil beds up more they havent even settled this season. You're asking for problems.
I got a irrigation system at Amazon very easy to set up comes complete and you can manually irrigate if you feel that the plants needs more water
Any suggestion where we can get the arch?
Looks expensive
You made the right decision 😅
Beautiful. All my berries ( blackberry, raspberries, marion, huckleberry, and blueberries like the same soil but different light.🫠
