space between beds

we have raised garden beds in our front yard, 

where we grow our veggies. 

we bought our first one from conor fitzpatrick, 

who is featured in the june 2011 issue of sunset magazine! 

i added in a round stone bed, 

followed by another square one made by ryan, 

using our friend denise's old fence. 

i haven't been able to decide what to do in between the beds. 

mulch? straw? decomposed granite? stones? gravel? 

so as you can see, it's been a little bit of mulch and a little bit of weeds. 

i finally decided on stones, 

set in decomposed granite with thyme growing around them. 

we already had the stones in the back,

and we have a pile of decomposed granite. 

all i had to buy was flowering thyme. 

a couple of hours of digging dirt, 

hauling stone, 

shoveling d.g.,

planting the thyme,

and i was done! 

two more spaces between beds to go. 

but i feel better knowing what will go there.
