Terrace garden


We got a bit of snow in the storm, but not enough to warrant the hype! Everything closed early Wednesday afternoon. The sun is shining now and it will likely be melted by the end of the day in the warm sun. This photo shows the steps we built down our hillside in the back of the house and the terrace garden. I will reinforce the rock walls with wire and concrete either in spring (if I find time) or later in the fall after crops die back. Right now we don't have enough good stones on the property for a proper terrace but eventually it will be the herb, sorrel and strawberry bed. Its the least sunny spot in the garden so in the plans we moved the blueberries to a better location. The grapes will grow up an arbor which we will build over the stairs. Hops will grow up the posts of the deck.
