I am enjoying laying out my gardens. I moved here last October.To get the plants that I had brought with me into the ground I used the lasagna method.During this winter I have discovered a few areas that get all the snow blown off so I am not sure what plants will survive.
By me garden shed I hope to have a potager garden and my husband has already built one bed for me.
I hope to have a bunch of friends over to help decorate the shed with farm memorabilia that I have collected over the last 24 years.
I have also tried winter sowing this winter and have just started 6 containers.
I also like house plants and at the moment am into epiphylums.

Hi, I did pretty much the same thing here almost 5 years ago, and If memory serves me well(???), I did not loose any plants. That is the beauty of doing lasagna bed: easy to dig a whole and put the plant. I have not lost a single plant doing this!

Lasagna is a way of starting beds. You layer different things. You start with newspaper or cardboard over top of grass or ground. I put manure next , about 6 inches and then topsoil which I got free from our waste management site. I had hoped to get some mulch down before winter but that didn’t happen. I planted my plants and will post how they do in the spring.
