So. An old bed that's been around for many, many years. Blackberries up the trellis, lemon thyme in front of the berries, and chives in front of the water barrel, which sat on top of two cement blocks that had been slowly sinking into the soil. The bed had a border that was no longer effective and falling apart. And there was an oak sapling growing through the trellis. After three days of digging and shoveling and removing oak trees and garden rocks and landscape fabric (I highly recommend never using garden rocks and/or landscape fabric for gardens and/or landscaping) and other stuff, we get this:
Yes, that's a gas meter on the other side of the trellis, so the digging was strictly kept to less than a foot deep. The meter is also why I didn't bother putting any hardware mesh on the bottom of the bed. I didn't want to mess around with cutting around the gas main. If the voles eat what I plant here, then the voles eat what I plant here.
