Lovay’s garden in North Carolina

Today ’s photos are from Lovay Singleton in New Bern , North Carolina . She says,“New Bern is a grand urban center and babe metropolis to Bern , Switzerland . I moved here with my hubby and dogs 5 years ago and we purchased our home 4 age ago . It is a wonderful historical Ithiel Town on the “ Crystal Coast ” .

“ When we moved here we were told that the homes were located on a premature dairy farm site . As a avid gardener I was totally excited . What I did not bump out until later was that all of the rich loamy filth had been scraped off , trade , and replaced with gumption and clay . That would be great if you were making pottery , not so great for plants .

“ After the first twelvemonth of concluded gardening loser , I did some enquiry and began to incorporate as much organic topic as the garden could hold . If I purchased a plant I purchased a bag of compost or mulch . It is working . I intend I would share a couple of family shots along with a before and after . ”

Wow , Lovay , it ’s looking downright tropical ! Obviously the family ( 2 - leggedand4 - legged ) are know your garden . Thanks for sharing !
