The Swing Bed

Harvested
Area
A half-moon shaped garden built around a swing in our yard. Last year this bed turned into being mostly ornamental, but we did succeed with some chamomile, and our main crop of snow peas grew up on trellises next to the swing.
In 2014, I want to do a bit more flowering edibles (like the chamomile) and possibly replace the juvenile artichoke plants we lost to a recent (and unusual for our area) deep freeze.
