No worries about down time in the potager, below. Site tuters early, and the chaos disappears.
In a perfect world, you've had time to gather your own brush and cobble them together.

Teepee shape is the most my time allows. 5 canes, tied with twine at the top.

"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
— Jesus of Nazareth, Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 6:28
.Of course the lily toils, if you know basic botany. And, has a destiny. Attracting & feeding pollinators, then, in death, to fertilizer the soil. The metaphor is still clear, and one of my favorites. Humbling.

Potager is more complete than a vegetable garden. Potager is a mix of vegetables, herbs, flowers. Extra beauty? Yes, and more. Those flowers increase vegetable garden yields by 80%. For the same effort by you. Lazy, I adore those odds.
.
6 hours of sun, or more each day, for your potager. A 10" terra cota pot is plenty for a potager. Don't read plant tags/books, just stuff the plantings in. And bamboo teepee.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

I've been debating whether to repopulate my raised bed in the front yard, the one that that doesn't host the collection of white roses. I really should. Wish I could throw a blog party that was really a way to get people to come plant with me:).
ReplyDelete"stuff the plantings in" ha! welcome to my world! It's 6 am here and I just checked the roses and had to remove a bunch a greedy caterpillars.
ReplyDeleteHappy easter x
I like that - "don't read labels", then stuff them in. Inspiring where that's what I have the room to do, and so I will!
ReplyDeleteAnd a Happy Easter to you in ATL, Tara.
