These aren't pretty pics, just documentary kind, sorry.
Someone asked on another thread what we do in the winter, well here is my answer for this winter anyway.
The bed along the house is bulbs and drought loving perinial/herb/flowers. The far side of the fence line I still need to weed and mulch it is comfrey, this side of the fence is forsythia and strawberries
The fence line along the lt side is the same forsythia/strawberry bed as the first pic. The back area is raspberries, strawberries, garlic, and will be fig trees.
Long view of the raspberries/strawberries/garlic/figs. Each fence spur is 10 feet, and each space between the spur is 10 feet. This area is very shaded so hoping the berries will like it there.
And speaking of strawberries here is one of the little darlings. lol
80 feet line of fence weeded and mulched 2 feet wide on each side of the fence. Eventually will be highbush blueberries on the east side, forsythia on west side w/ strawberries at the base and garlic. Some forsythia is already planted the rest will be this fall/winter, blueberries will have to wait until I can afford them. This year I am going to plant the whole thing in peanuts, for mass amount of cheap seeds and good high protien fodder for either chickens or if I am able to get the bunny houses finished then the bunnies.
The 4 foot wide bed by the house goes all the way around to the front and then you already saw the other side. This side will be planted in shade loving herbs and mint (maybe if I get enough mint the ants won't come in ) and bulbs (flowers) around front bulbs, blueberries (mostly low bush) and flowers

I'm sure come Spring it will look even better once the plants green up.
Can't have too much mulch, that's for sure. I think I have mulch-envy!
