So what do you think? I just love it, it is so practical, and so much neater and tidier than my own. The garden sits just outside their kitchen door, so it's super convenient for meal times. Then the Besser blocks, they not only contain the garden, you can also make them into any shape you like, and plant things in the middle of them. Eveything is easy to reach from all sides, it just all smacks of common sense gardening.
On top of all this, and just in case you missed it, their garden says "hi". Stacey swears they didn't do that deliberately.
Above is Stacey pointing out her renegade tomato... then there are her rockmelons (that I though were watermelons, I am still having problems with that!).
I adore this flower... it's an edible chrysanthemum, and although eating raw flowers makes me feel one step closer to being a cow, I love the idea of it as an edible garnish.
The garden is just great, it's only been in for around 4 months and everything is just thriving. the soil is lovely and rich, they actually empty their kitchen scraps into the middles of the Besser blocks and cover them with paper and water, so tons of little mini compost heaps that can be directly planted into. I just think that is the ants pants, an ideal non-messy way to compost.
So that's it, Stacka and Harmon's (and the rest!) guest garden.

Lovely garden, so jealous!
It's neat, isn't it... she's so practical, where's the adventure in it!!
I was just trying to work out if the beds were in a specific shape : )
It's funny, isn't it?! She says she didn't plan it, lol, glad they didn't accidently map out a swear word!
Jumping fences and pinching someone elses green bananas would be adventurous though wouldn't it??? Better get that rocking chair lady!
Ooo you cheeky anonymous commenter, I've booby trapped the bananas now... they'll go down, but you'll go down with them!
