This is the shade layered garden next to the deck, where the space is too narrow and awkward for a mower.
Gardens of this type should be started a season ahead.
I laid down cardboard and newspaper in the area where I wanted to grow plants beyond the flagstone walk.
I had planned to lay mulch or compost on top of the paper. The mulched area is seen above the steppingrocks. I drew a grid of this area in order to place plants in a plan, and I marked where the plants would go with plastic spoons, labeled with artists' black wax pencil.
The fountain area was "lasagna-ed" in the same way.
This is the fountain today
