Natural Landscaping

Although we'll wait until next fall to plant in the Hugelkultur area, several other areas will be ready in the spring:
- the hedgerow area is 8 x 80
- the bed south of the house is 8 x 45
- the bed next to the house on the south side is 2 x 25
- the bed east of the house is 8 x 20

That makes 1,200 square feet of intensely planted beds. You may be wondering what they are going to be intensely planted with, and we are wondering the same thing.

Help is at hand. A locally offered class called Natural Landscaping was called to our attention (by Deedee and Raleigh's human mother) in the nick of time. It is sponsored by the Clallam County Conservation District, the same folks who do the previously-mentioned annual native plant sale, and it consists of three evening sessions plus two field trips. All for $20 - these folks are here to help us, it's quite amazing. The first class was a couple days ago and the first field trip was today. While our planting plan hasn't emerged quite yet, Husband has the drawing out and is overlaying sheets of vellum as I write this.
