Here are the stone "
endcaps" in place in the garden. I hope they'll be a nice way to separate bed and grass, and easy enough to trim around. These stones had been elsewhere around the house. You can see some progress on the expanded herb/flower area (new bed #2 here, also with the chair in it). Check out
this link to compare May and April photos and see earlier monthly photos. The other 2 new beds this year are at the far end and have the bean structure in them. They still need some preparation. The little A-frames are giving a little protection to the tomatoes.
I can also see that the "
endcaps" are also going to be a nice collector of rocks. Later, I'll move them to the growing rock pile outside of the garden.

Those endcaps add a touch of "class" to your beds. A lovely idea. What a difference in the photos in only a month!
It always amazes me how quickly your garden goes from the cold of winter to lots of flowers well on their way to summer!! Its seems to take so much longer here!!
A lovely garden. I particularly like the complete lack of weeds. So unlike my garden.
Love the endcaps...very Victorian looking, swish.
Has pertunia made an appearance yet ??
I like those end-caps!
Did I already tell you how much I LOVE the A-frames in your borders? They look w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!
Unfortunately, it's often quite windy over there to they might not be a good idea for our garden, what a pity.
So far, I did not yet taste my chives blossoms. How are they?
I like the end caps. They look nice.
Very nice arrangement. Classy!
I do so love the endcaps - they look brilliant
You look very productive with your cold frames and cloches. Enjoyed catching up on your progress. Thanks for leaving a link on my blog.
Emily (the cat) and I both find we like to walk on the endcaps too. Keeps our feetsies out of the wet grass I guess. Now if the mole would quit digging out the dirt and making the stones go crooked.
Mark, no sign of petunia in the garden yet. I will be letting the grass grow tall along the fence to encourage her. There have been sightings of her friends in the neighbor's yard.
Anita, the chive flowers have a chive/oniony flavor. I break about the flower head into the little flowets. They mix nicely in with the rest of the salad.
What a great idea to use the endcaps on your beds, it looks charming! Who would've thought?
