landscape my garden

This goal was about last year’s garden in Seattle. Here’s a photo of my garden at its lushest (late August 2008).

Though I’m currently working on a new garden here in Cholula —and since I intend to keep this hobby onward in my life—, I’m going to consider this goal as done :)

would love my garden to be a lovely retreat! its not at the minute so would love to get it turfed and have a nice place to sit in the sun!

Craigslist can be such a wonderful thing. Today I responded to a “you-dig-you-haul” ad which was just three blocks away from my house. What a treat! I’ve been dreaming about a Rhododendron (Washington State’s tree) for so long, and today I got a one-meter tall plant!

Little by little, my garden is taking shape. The tulips and narcissus are not out yet, but the “surprise” irises and the orange irises (both also from Craigslist) are adapting well to their new surroundings. The potager built in the “Square Foot Gardening” fashion is also coming about.

This weekend, I’ll be attending the Northwest Flower & Garden Show and will get a ton of ideas for this coming season :)
