Gardens, Not Grass
On April Fools Day Bohemian Bounty installed a large garden for a client in Wells Branch who is living the mantra “Gardens, not grass”. Grass is great to eat – if you’re a cow. Non-bovines with grass lawns spend half their time making it grow and the other half cutting it down. If that’s not April-foolish, I don’t know what is.
So, in an effort to stop the insanity we designed, installed and planted four 16 foot long beds and converted two fence lines to gardens as well. Much of the back yard will now be growing vegetables. On the menu were blackberry bushes, asparagus, multiple varieties of tomatoes and peppers – both sweet and hot, cucumber, bay laurel, basil, thyme, oregano, giant sunflowers, okra, strawberries, salad greens, summer squash, bush beans, pole beans and lots of beautiful and beneficial flowers.
