When I get a load of compost, I mulch the whole yard with it. You probably don't need that much with your gravel mulch in the front and lawn in back. I'm sure it ends up cheaper by the pound to get it in bulk, but I think with the delivery fee, and depending on your quantity, bags might actually work out in your favor.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-90717595568965468232009-05-09T20:50:00.000-07:002009-05-09T20:50:00.000-07:00You are so right about the blog Megan, I thought a...You are so right about the blog Megan, I thought about that yesterday. I have a sketch I did of the front yard and one of the back yard. they are pretty right on, except I thought we should leave out a slab once and a while on the patio to plant in. I'm glad we didn't...it would have been disruptive.<br /><br />I hate to admit this but I've always bought bags of compost. That way I can spread it bit by bit rather than have a load just BEGGING to be taken care of NOW. Lazy and expensive. I should look into ordering. I imagine it's cheaper?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-41751194495877113522009-05-09T09:25:00.000-07:002009-05-09T09:25:00.000-07:00Your journal drawings were so nice!

I was surprised to find the areas I'd sketched pretty much grew up according to plan. <br />I think your blog sort of counts as your new form of garden journal. I read an old post the other day just to find out how much compost I ordered last year, I was so happy I'd mentioned the quantity.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-66439149295347906202009-05-08T22:12:00.000-07:002009-05-08T22:12:00.000-07:00Karen - my apt was on the corner of Thomas and Boy...Karen - my apt was on the corner of Thomas and Boylston. I walked past when we were there in September and the window boxes were gone. They had been there for many years. I had the most amazing neighbors on the corner of Thomas and Harvard, in the house. They have a beautiful yard and helped me with my plant knowledge. They are still there. Fabulous green lights at Christmas.<br /><br />I think that is my number one regret when it comes to my grandparents, that I never really talked to my grandpa about gardening. He knew so much!<br /><br />Stephanie - thank you! I loved the experience and really feel it was a 'real' garden, it meant that much to me and yours must too. What really matters is the connection.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-62780376798733454732009-05-08T19:34:00.000-07:002009-05-08T19:34:00.000-07:00What a nice mini garden you had :-) It is always s...What a nice mini garden you had :-) It is always so wonderful to have a window filled with lovely greens. <br /><br />I am still looking forward for a 'real' garden :-( I guess in every good thing, there is always a starting point. Hey, container gardening is fun too. I am enjoying it.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-77455318498767188762009-05-08T17:38:00.000-07:002009-05-08T17:38:00.000-07:00Wow, you were pretty ambitious even back in the ap...Wow, you were pretty ambitious even back in the apartment days! Which part of the Hill did you live on? I wonder if the window box is still there and tended/appreciated by someone else? I love your careful drawing, it's really beautiful and shows how much thought you put into your tiny available space. So nice that you had that connection with your grandmother, too. I wish I'd decided to get interested in gardening while my grandfather was still alive, he could have taught me a lot.Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-20393436627825524942009-05-08T15:51:00.000-07:002009-05-08T15:51:00.000-07:00Jane - I'm thinking that this blog may be the clos...Jane - I'm thinking that this blog may be the closest thing I'll get to actually organizing pictures.

I'm hoping a flickr site or picasaweb site might be the answer to documentation in this one, but I have yet to really check out the possibilities.<br /><br />And it seems to me that if you're not feeling overwhelmed in May, you're probably not really gardening!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.com
