| I didn't even know I HAD a potager. I didn't even know what a potager WAS! Haziemoon told me she liked my potager garden ( we met at another forum and she browsed my webshots album!) I said- you like my WHAT?!!
Guess what? Apparently I have a potager! haha
I call it my veggie garden.. It is fenced becasue if not it would be critter ,deer and bear food and likely trampled by my dog.
Here are some pics of it and some progression shots so you can see the shape of the beds.. One day I hope to have a cottage garden fence around it. I've loved looking at all yours.. great ideas.. I may have to hang around a while.

Hi Friend!
So glad to see you here!
Your potager is so neat. I sure wish I'd seen it before I put mine in! What is growing on your arch? Haziemoon |

| ohh- dont be too impressed- this is last year's progress shots.. it was green beans though. they broke the arch eventually! LOL I'll have to take pics of this year- but need advice fomr you all on better ways to keep the paths weed free...
( well- maybe allowing some of that crazy cilantro that puts itself everywhere. haha |

We have awful weeds here. We have irrigation water for the
yard, so we have weed seeds coming out the hose!
I had to till it all up and lay down that black fabric, and put it under the beds a little too, then covered it in pea gravel about 3 inches thick. It seems to
work really well...no weeding the paths yet! But I like to garden and water barefoot, and it gets HOT!
So I kinda wished I'd used something other than pea gravel.
Other than the pain! I love how it looks and is working out. It was pretty cheap too....we did the whole thing for about $20...but it took several trips with our little trailor! Haziemoon |

| Gootagarden; thanks.. tidy? i dont think so.. you must not be seeing alllllll the weeds coming up through the paths.. hazie; thanks so much.. gravel is that cheap huh? I had no idea.. I probably shoudl use gravel then.. but then again I thought i maybe want to one day take out all the beds and just do rows in here. and sometimes i plant in the paths near the fencng ( I have scallions here and there- and ofcourse cilantro takign overt allt he paths. it needs a good fresh top coat of mulch reall is what the problem is I guess... but my budget is tight this year and I'm lazy too. haha
Yours looks soooo tidy Hazie..! GGG, Janna and Leasa, thanks so much.. Peaceful is it.. defaintely.. when i am not screaming from a bee ot yellin at the dog to get out of my flowers. haha anyway- we shall see this year what happens.. I always rotate things.. so it's a new arrangement of plantings in which bed each year. I REAAALLY liked the green breen arch last year and I'm not sue what to do this year . |

| Friend: I am putting old carpet down between my beds and covering them with wood chips. I received the suggestion for this from another gardner here on this forum when I asked about the landscape fabric. |
RE: I didnt even know ( a few pics here-warning)

I read about the old carpet too..after mine was done.
That sounds like a really good Idea. You can get all you want in the dumpster behind carpet stores. Haziemoon |
