Think outside of squares; use circles and curves. Say no to rows; plant in patterns. Mix with flowers. Support with fine frames. Vegetable gardens can be a beautiful highlight to your landscape. Here is the video:

Is that your garden, Nan? It's awesome! You're so clever when planting, and I love everything you show. Very Happy I'm kind of dumb-struck by all that beauty.

Nan I'm awestruck!!! Shocked What a gorgeous garden you have. I share your love of curves in a garden as they make it far more interesting and much easier on the eye than straight lines do. You obviously have two handsful of green fingers as everything looks fabulous. Mr. Green

Wow, that's cool. I'm trying to grow some things vertically on a decorative arch (pole beans). I wish I'd watching this before I planted all my corn in rows. Oh well, something to look forward to next year!

I too like curves, although I have both lines and curves I like the curves best. Great job on the garden and the video is nice too. You have great color out there, it looks like a great place to sit and relax with a cup of something. Thanks for sharing.

Nan I really like that. I love the curves, arbors, etc. Has given me some ideas for mine next year. I do want an arbor, a bench of some kind and a trellis. Is that your garden? It is beautiful Wink

Thanks! This is my garden in the backyard. Some photos were taken last year, though. Plants havn't in full bloom yet this year. I will make a new video when things grow to their full size over my new trellis. I just cann't wait to see how tall the giant tree tomato will be.
