Wonderfully wild

I have several garden areas. I guess you could say I'm addicted to gardening.  My veggie garden is made up of several different raised beds.  I'm into polyculture in a big way. I love living mulch. I have had great luck over planting my beds. So I'm sure you can imagine by mid to late summer my garden looks very wild. Flowers, Herb and veggies oh my.

This year I seem to be starting out on the wild side.  I cleaned the beds. The weather has made everything about 6 weeks behind, so the beds themselves are still a little spare. But the paths between some of the beds are crowded with bachelor buttons, borage, and hollyhocks.  At some point I will have to trim, or remove them, but for now I think they are wildly beautiful.

Jen, it looks beautiful! I love the wildness. What is the fence-looking thing? Is it some kind of paneling. I absolute love the idea of having flowers in the pathways. Much better than "weeds!"

The fence thing is a cattle panel trellis. It's 50"  I think and 16' long. Held in place by a t post ( some people use 2 t post if they get high winds). I put it about a foot from the edge of each bed.  I love it.

I didn't plant any of the flowers in the paths.  I had bachelor buttons in one of my beds last year.  I planted borage several years ago and it continues to  Pop up everywhere. The hollyhocks were in the flower bed on the outside of the garage, and they keep popping up ( I have to remove most of those because they get so big,). I like it, but it makes getting to some of my garden beds tough.
