One of my "gardening dreams" at the farm is to have a cutting garden.
You can't beat having access to fresh flowers 24/7.
When I saw this online, I immediately thought this was so awesome. I can't really say ours would be this big, not sure I have that in me, ha. But I DO love the part right in the foreground, the two long beds, with the gravel path in between, and a climbing fence on once side. Very pretty and a great design.
It makes it convenient to go grab some fresh flowers.
Today is my blog day off, so see you back here tomorrow!
Have a good day!
beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I just loved it when I saw it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteMy heart just skipped a beat on this...siiiiggghhhh
ReplyDeleteYeah, mine did too when I saw it. Another 'thing' to add to the list. :-)
DeleteI love it! I wish I had space and time for all of that. I like your idea of the two closest beds, I would like to do something like that in my front garden.
ReplyDeleteI cannot call you 1st man
Deleteso I will refer to you as Bob from Now on

Yeah, two beds like that with a path down the middle would be nice. I think that's what appealed to me when I saw it, it seemed "orderly", ha.
DeleteJohn, you can call me Ray. Thanks for that link your cottage garden is very nice. 30 feet long is a great size.
DeleteI have found that a smaller cuting garden works great for me. I got overwhelmed with a really large ones and I recommend zinnia and sunflowers just becaus ei have found them easy to grow.
ReplyDeleteJohn G. thanks for the link--very nice.

Yep, I'm thinking smaller is better too, ha. My grandmother used to grow Zinnia's, I love them, they are so pretty. Haven't ever tried sunflowers, might have to do that sometime.
DeleteMe likey.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it pretty? Sigh, all it takes is work I suppose...hard work, lol.
DeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous! I wish I had the space for something like this! Maybe I can find a corner somewhere...
ReplyDelete"Inspiration Thursday" is like my own pinterest, ha. It's gorgeous huh? Hey a little corner somewhere that looked like this would be awesome.
DeleteI want a cutting garden too!! We have some beautiful peonies and poppies, but I'd like to plant a whole bunch of dinner-plate dahlias too. And sunflowers of all colors and sizes! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is just something magical about a cutting garden isn't it? Not to mention actually using it as it is and putting fresh flowers all over your house. Oh, we love Dahlia's so pretty.
