That's a lovely entrance. Very nice.

I can understand wanting some evergreen things in the potager. Mine looks soooooo bare and bleak during the winter season. I'm planning to at least plop some rosemary there for green and incredible fragrance. The herb bed is on its way to being more fully planted so that helps as well.

Thanks for posting the photo.

I like the entrance, especially, the arbor. Sounds like your potager is coming along nicely. Keep posting pictures for us.

Thanks for sharing.

I really like the arbor over your entrance. I want to do something for my entrances, but realistically nothing will happen this year. This year I'm working on my "floor plan", but trying to get ideas for entries for next year.

Do you plant anything over the arbor? Flower or veggies?

Thanks for posting.

Thanks everyone.
There are grapes growing over the arbor. I have a seedless Concord planted on one side and a seedless green on the other.
Come late spring, I will be whacking them back a lot! It is neat when the grapes become noticeable later on and they hang from above as you walk through the arbor.
The beds as you approach are full of flowers and shrubs. In the potager behind the fence to the left is blackberries, herbs, bulbs, and hollyhock. Then it runs down the north side of the neighbor's garage.
There it is shady and damp, so I have a couple of hydrangeas, lobelia, horseradish, watercress,and primroses. Then after the garage ends it gets sunny and I have a big Hansa rugosa rose underplanted with bulbs and oregano.
Along the far back from the rose there is a spirea prunifolia, garlic, iris, jerusalem artichoke, and at the end a rubrifolia/glauca rose.
Inside the fence on the right side, there is a blueberry, hollyhock, tree peony, herbs, bulbs and a daylily.
Running along the south side of my garage is Asparagus, garlic, and walking onions.
There of course is a big empty square in the middle where my tomatoes and other veggies go.
Oh, I'm thinking of removing the grass around that area where the stepping stones are and replacing it with
pea gravel.

i love the way your potager is nestled between the buildings - it has a very natural courtyard look, like it really belongs there. the buildings on either side
give you an instant "fence", too. that's a great entranceway, even in the winter :)

I love it and can not wait to see it when its growing again!

Hi Remy,
Sounds like you have the makings for a wonderful potager. We love to watch it grow with your pics.
