The front garden – weeding
2008 September 10
With the path now finished, I am faced with this mess of weeds and sand.
After a good hour of digging and weeding it is now a bit closer to being ready for some plants. 
I will have to figure out a path of some sort for later on to reach the middle mandarin tree for harvesting.
I am planning on this garden being a cottage garden with lots of perennial flowering plants. I think alyssum along the path would be a good choice for edging as it is as tough as boots. I will shuffle a few of the other plants around as they will no longer fit where they are or will be crowded out.
Oh, and some mulch too!

as for a path to the mandarin tree you could use wood chip or mulch.
Chamomile should do well too. It’s meant to deter flies and is fragrant when crushed underfoot.
I love the cottage feel to your garden. Very pretty, but also very useful.
thanks Chris Chamomile is a great idea, I have an apple scented one I will be planting out the back, but I might try to get afew more plants or some seeds. Thanks! ~Emily
Nicole, thanks for the suggestions. I am really liking the idea of wood mulch or a hard path of stepping stones, hmm still pondering this one
