I don't garden as much anymore, but I think if I had a Potager like yours, I would be inclined to be planting.<br /><br />Enjoy your beautiful garden.<br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-34815016555023329682012-05-30T22:00:47.856-05:002012-05-30T22:00:47.856-05:00Oh my word, I just love the pavers!

When he started working twelve to fourteen hours a day he said there would be NO garden! I took on the challenge and I can't wait to get my garden planted. Today and tomorrow. A little behind schedule here because of our vacation travels. Can't wait to see more of your garden. Oh how I wish I had pavers between my raised beds!<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-79772060651118026962012-05-29T09:16:29.937-05:002012-05-29T09:16:29.937-05:00I love how it looks already!!!

I don't doubt that you have an aversion to it now! I too love a lush, full garden but I don't enjoy the planting and the weeding either -- most of that now due to a bad back. Lucky for me the mister is an avid gardener and likes to do all of that...so bonus for me!!!<br /><br />Love what you are doing with the pavers...can't wait to see photos as the spring turns to summer and the beauty begins to bloom!Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-17375695151103495522012-05-29T07:16:44.109-05:002012-05-29T07:16:44.109-05:00I do believe that gardening is so much better when...I do believe that gardening is so much better when it's our own gardens. Weeding for kids just doesn't make for much fun. Your gardens are going to be so nice when in full bloom. I really like the pavers you laid. Makes for a great path. Can't wait to see your garden in bloom!Lisa~A Cottage To Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292883666058375974noreply@blogger.com
