I was able to get out today and work on a new garden area next to the wetlands.

Looks good. I like the circle beds. I may have to make one or two.

Thanks

In the spring I will plant Asian pear trees in them.

Amazing weather to be out! We're already iced in over here

Looks like starting Thursday the rain comes back. It will probably rain for two weeks straight. 😆

This looks awesome, how big is the new area

It is a weird shape surrounded by wet land I would say it is maybe 600 or 700 sq ft.

Looks like no dig garden area, what you doing in the log circles?

Because the groundwater is high in this area I am going to plant a fig and two Asian pears in them the rest of the area will strawberries, herbs and wild flowers.

very cool, love figs! post pictures as you make progress

I will, but probably not much to look at for a few years.

have you ever tried growing cattails as a food crop?

I haven’t. But I’ve thought about it. But since it doesn’t already grow there I’m thinking it doesn’t like the spot. There is a lot of it growing in nearby wetlands. my wetlands are seasonal.

Looks great! I like how you did the stump raised beds.
