Veggies are growing in the deck planter.
I finally have the grapevine I've wanted since moving here!
I'm experimenting with sprouting seeds.
My first passion flower. Mmmmm, smells so good!
I'm slowly taming the jungle (this is the area seen in the blog header, as it looks today).
The taming of an unruly jungle
About My Weedy Garden
I purchased my first house in October 2008, and it came with a weedy and neglected yard. It is now my joy and burden to try to bring this garden under control, and turn it into my Little Eden.
