I started my garden late from nothing but grass and weeds at the first of May to what it looks like now by direct sowing. Unfortunately, I didn’t think about leveling the soil before marking out and working on rows and beds. Now I’ve got a low side and a high side. I also never started any seed starters at the beginning of the year because I had surgery and recovery. But next year should be better now that the physical garden is done. But I proud of how far it’s come along in such a short time. Zone 8a South Alabama.

Step into a realm where nature meets artistry in this enchanting garden creation. Crafted by the talented hands of u/agirlandthetealmoon, this circular masterpiece is not just a garden but a work of living art. The circular layout, reminiscent of crop circles, gives it a touch of mystery and uniqueness.
Nestled within the circular embrace are an array of carefully chosen plants, each with its role in this symphony of colors and textures. The vibrant hues of ornamental corn, interspersed with other vegetables and herbs, create a visually stunning tapestry against the backdrop of the greenery. An unexpected but delightful design choice that captivates the eyes and sparks curiosity.
Amidst the greenery, a functional fence stands tall, not only delineating the garden space but serving as a guardian against the playful antics of dogs. As revealed by the creator, these canines, though lazy to jump, find the enclosed space their own haven, adding a touch of whimsy to the practicality.
The garden’s circular design is not only visually appealing but also strategic. As some keen-eyed gardeners pointed out, it draws inspiration from the principles of agroecology and permaculture, creating a harmonious balance between aesthetics and functionality.
As the seasons unfold, this circular marvel promises to evolve, and its creator, ever the mindful gardener, is open to learning from the journey. A nod to the community’s gardening wisdom is seen in the exchanges about corn pollination and the creator’s willingness to adapt and improve.
