I really did it.

I tore up my entire yard; garden boxes, grass, my asparagus that would have finally produced this year. I decided to start from square one....at the end of April. Oops.

I got so carried away I went from weeding, to digging, to sledge hammering. 
I came away with a lot more garden space, some new tips (stay tuned for tomorrows post!), and a sore back. 

Before: not enough room, grass creeping over the edges, mint taking over the garden, and to be honest the dog pee'd in it a few times. 

 I started to dig, Mason found a cozy spot.

See he really is my gardening partner, what a helper!

 This has got to go! Brick planters? With dying Lavender? Not good for my reputation as a gardener.

My husband came home to a lovely surprise, time to make new raised beds!

 Here is a sneak peak at ONE of the new beds! Enjoy it while you can buddy!

I had some helpers collect worms to put in the new garden box too!

Stay tuned for Lasagna Gardening!
