For a fun look back at what “the sandy garden” looked like when we first moved in check out this blog post I did in September 2015 (we moved in May 2015) and hop down to about picture #11 and you’ll see this area! It is fun to look back!

I began (and finished) work on the “sandy garden” and didn’t feel it was worth a whole video but wanted to show a picture slide show of the awesome progress! I amended the beds, used cottonwood branches as a border, planted some corn as a wind break until the bamboo grows back on the west side, planted some marigold flowers and seeds, got my 32 seed potatoes planted, moved a cute little flowering bush over in that area (I can’t remember what it’s called now) and even planted my peanuts in the raised bed just across from the potato patch!!! And I mulched the whole area and created a new seating area OH and put in my first manual sprinkler!!! If I can just put a timer on this guy…I won’t have to ever worry with it. Which I will be doing in the future!!! OH AND I did a DIY painting project AND planted cowpeas in one keyhole bed and desert arugula in the other (last) keyhole bed!!!! I only have 1 “bed” left to finish in the front and then on to the last spot in the side yard that needs work, ie, future okra and watermelon garden! Oh and I started a box garden in 3 boxes, mulched my sunken beds in the backyard AND got 2 new mesquite trees. Wow…crazy busy day! See why I couldn’t have done 1 video for all that work? Lol! I hope you enjoy!
