2014- New House, New Yard...New Garden...in 2015

Ok, it's been a long time and I've more than neglected the physical act of gardening....my foray into container gardening in Oklahoma was and is a Herculean task, with the incessant wind and incredibly intense sun... it is no longer gardening it becomes the art of tomato survival and pepper parching. So, I'm writing it off, for the time being.

However, I have been thinking, planning and laying out my new and life-sized garden.
I think that this plan has never really stopped developing in and improving in my head, it has just changed directions when we discovered our charming little midtown bungalow and it's low maintenance front yard and the designers dream of a back yard.

This lovely dream of mine began this past May/June 2014 when my husband and I discovered our new home and moved in a little over a month later...

We've not done much more than cut the grass and dig up a tree in the front yard (non-indigenous species that was growing way too close to my front window & foundation.

 In the back yard, we've move a few edging stones, built a dog run (for the Great Dane, didn't want any "surprises" in the rest of the yard), took out a bush or two and planted two apple trees!

It doesn't seem like a whole lot, but if you add up all the clean-up and physical labor of these few things, I feel like it is a great accomplishment for the short time we've been here and there is much more to come!

Things to come...(I hope!!!)

* A path from garden gate to front yard
* A Patio outside my front window
*An extension to the oddly placed deck in our backyard
* Paver stone path/patio from our back door to our back deck
*Small Vegetable/Salsa garden
*Pergola & Outdoor drapes - for Deck
*Blueberries & Strawberries

See you in the Spring!
