Plantaholic's Island Back Yard garden

Garden Type: Backyard | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

I’m so HAPPY!! This is part of my Mother’s Day present. The hubby and our 14 year old spent a good part of the day putting this island garden in for me today! I already have plants planned to go in….we are just waiting for the right weather – this late in May they are still predicting frost.

The soil for this garden is a mixture of compost & soil mix amended with sheep manure and additional leaf compost.
