How to have a beautiful garden
"I decided to concentrate on container gardening for now."
How I did it: I redefined my terms. I still have a large back yard that needs landscaping. But I rent and I work hard at my job so I am not motivated to do a major overhaul of the space. Instead I put my energies into my courtyard in the middle of the house. Right now I have many colors of tuberous begonias, a rose plant, various floral ground covers in hanging pots and some beautiful calla lilies. Soon I will get a bouganville and a Meyer lemon tree. Since it is visible while one is moving about the house (which the back yard isn't) it has really added to my quality of life. The back yard might be satisfying to work on, but once I go into the house I can't see it to appreciate it.
