The Garden

Here is our garden. It's not much but for living down town and having a small yard, I think it's pretty wonderful. We would have planted even more if our house wasn't for sale. Speaking of the house, we are under contract! Sadly, we will be leaving this wonderful back yard that we have labored over.


The first box is being taken over by mint, but there is also oregano, basil, and cilantro in it. The next box is mostly strawberries and then there is some parsley. Next, squash and Dahlias and then last the Tomatoes.

This is what the yard looked like before we moved in. It was really rough. There was no grass. It is hard to tell in the picture but the back was a giant hole that the previous owners dug themselves. What the hole was for, no one knows. It also was being over taken by bamboo. Please notice my favorite part, the mirrors on the red fence! We took those down the day we moved in, unfortunately, the red fence is still there.

Here is what it looks like now (well 3 months ago). Nice and flat. Green grass and some landscaping that you can't see in this picture.
