Rich and Anita Burkholder (Sammamish, WA) wanted beauty + productivity for family produce/flowers. Created 70-ft diameter circular garden: wedge-shaped raised beds like pie slices, 3-ft gravel paths for access. Low boxwood hedges define inner circle with alfresco dining table.
Dahlias, cosmos, sunflowers, zinnias in many beds; others: beans, bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers, 'Walla Walla Sweet' onions. Successive basil, corn, lettuce for steady supply. Kiwis on one entry arbor, 'Buffalo'/'Interlaken' grapes on other.
Soaker hoses water beds. Fall: maple leaves piled on beds. Spring: dig decomposed leaves + compost + chicken manure. Rich starts annuals/vegetables from seed in greenhouse outside circle.
