This is my newest flowerbed. It’s located between the house and the gazebo. I took with Eddie’s help all of the large chimney rock that bordered my beds in the house yard and placed them in a large rectangle in the middle of the big yard. It’s a work in progress.

The bed at the moment only has one plant in it and that’s a clematis that wasn’t getting enough sun around my porch. I placed a growing arbor in the middle for it to grow on. We stretched chicken wire around it to keep the free range chickens out of it.

I plan to add more growing medium in it before major planting next spring. I need to find some more chimney rock to build it up a bit and it’ll need about 12 large bags of MiracleGro potting mix added to it.

It’s rather dwarfed looking now but once its full of sun loving perennials it’ll be a show place, I hope! I think I want to go up one more layer of stone before adding to it. I’ll work on a plan for the plants this winter when updating my gardening journal.

I cleaned out all the stone and dug out all of the trumpet vine. This vine was too overwhelming and was growing out the roof.
