I'm in Love
Look what my husband is making me:
I am super excited. I love the rustic look of it. I'm going to move my slate tiles to create a path underneath it and I've got some creeping thyme started to grow in between the cracks of the slate. Now the hard part is deciding what to grow up it! Grapes? Clematis? Roses? Wisteria?? Too many choices!
Hairy Vetch
Hairy Vetch is a plant that I have growing in my garden right now:
It's a plant used to enrich the soil during my 'off-season'. It, along with the crimson clover and peas mixed in with it, helps fix nitrogen in the soil, prevents erosion of the soil, keeps weeds out, prevents nutrients from being washed away, and when it is tilled into the soil it provides organic matter.
I just like saying it out loud. :)
