Garden Problems

Ok so here are a couple of garden problems that we are trying to fix this year.

1. That Pesky Grass

As you can see in this picture of our strawberry bed from last year the grass between the beds gets unruly and is quite the pain in the butt. Keeping up with Mowing between them and then weed eating, just so you can get to your plants, waists all of the time you could be gardening.

Anyway I found a couple of pictures on Pinterest and went "WOW, why didn't I think of that?"

Now you cant tell me that doesn't look like a more fun place to be.

So we started by laying down this plastic barrier between the beds. Hopefully this will block off all of the grass from growing in between the beds so we can lay down rocks.

2. Unhappy Green Beans

So here is another picture of our garden from last year. We planted Green Beans all along he trellis. Some of them did quite well and other were blocked by the corn and didn't get much light. also when they did get going good they ran out of trellis.

 So another Pinterest solution an archway!

So I am putting my arch from one side of the bed to the other instead of over the isle. While taking a note from another Pinterest idea and using the space underneath to grow lettuce, which likes the shade.

Wish us luck. I'll post more pictures as we get farther along!
