I don't want to mow grass inside the fence but grass grew up through our old fence and encroached on my vegetables and bent the fencing. We have to till the ground each year inside fence and don't want the tiller caught in fence or ground covers. thanks
Maybe some nasturtiums. They grow vines and have orange flowers that are supposed to keep bugs out of the garden. Cosmos are easy to grow flowers. They grow tall 3-4 feet and have nice cutting flowers. Either way you'll have to pull a few weeds until the plants get established.

I live in Reno, Nv (Northern Nevada). I have a landscaped backyard with a flower garden, but I want to make a small vegetable garden that will I will plan and take care of by myself.
I am planning to start it just outside the fence to my backyard. I will be buying live plants instead of seeds. It will not be attached to the drip system that my other plants use (where's the fun in that?)
I plan to research the matter online and check with the nursery for information. I just wanted to also get advice from hobby vegetable gardeners themselves.
Thank you for your time:)
Leave plenty of room between your rows or plants. Your garden may look thin at first but the pay-off will be great. Fertelize every two weeks, water every two or three days,and good luck . Oh ya,dont forget to weed!!
The tag says they are "treated to rejection" Does this type of pressure treated landscape timbers have toxins that will leach into our soil and will the vegetables grown in that area be unsafe to eat?
The timbers are Micropro AC2 if that means anything to anyone
I'm not an expert so I don't know what "treated to rejection" means but pressure treated generally means chemically treated against insects. So I would assume used in a garden would be about the same as spraying for insects. So here's a site with articles that might help you decide.
I just moved to Louisiana, zone 8b. My fiance and I bought a house that has just been built and is in desperate need of gardening and landscaping. I'm a beginner and need some easy, pretty, layout ideas. What are some websites and/or books that would help a beginner like me in this particular area? For example, I heard there are TWO growing seasons. Okay, I'm from northern Indiana, and we barely had one full growing season! Heh! What is the second growing season for? I also want to have a vegetable garden. Can anyone offer me any advice?? Thanks!!
Contact your local County Extention Agency and ask about the local Master Gardening club. They can tell you what works best for where you live, from what varieties to plant to the best time- and location- to plant, prune etc. They can also offer book titles, websites, the best nurseries etc. If no MG club, the agent should be able to point you in the right direction. By the way, the second growing season is to grow a second crop. It's wonderful to live in Southern USA!

Mulching a Vegetable Garden | Gomestic
There are many great ways to create a lovely mulched garden whether it be for a garden display landscape or vegetable garden. Mulch is simply an effective way to add life to your soil, suppress weeds and immediately improve the appearance of your landscape.
Preferably organic is my pick of the bunch for soil life and health of the veggie garden.
Organic mulches break down and add humus (organic matter to the soil). This improves soil structure, drainage, and encourages earthworm and soil microbe activity.
There are many different types of organic mulches available such as straw, lucerne, bean and cane. They can come by either bale or chopped up. Cube types are also another form of mulch available.
Some places you may only be able to purchase one of the above types. My choice is lucerne as I find it easy to work with and readily available in my area.
Bark type mulches are also available for mulching a vegetable garden, but are slow to decompose and matter to the soil, this style of mulch is preferable for garden landscapes. Also, inorganic mulches such as gravel and river stone don’t break down and are also left for landscaping surrounding gardens.
...National Community Gardening Week Starts Today | Urban Gardens ...
On August 6, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack encouraged Americans to connect with the land, the food it grows and their local communities by proclaiming August 23-29, National Community Gardening Week.
A community garden is an opportunity to educate everyone about from where food comes, whether that is a Farmers Market or a garden, and is important to increasing generations of healthy eaters. Community gardens can be anywhere–in the country, a city, or a suburb. It can be one community plot or can be many individual plots.
