Come take the photo tour of our garden! This is the evolution of a garden and a gardener.
-
- Our yard March 2004
-
- Samantha walking the dog trail
-
- May 2004 – Scotty guarding our newly planted trees
-
- A very sick live oak we inherited. That will be the topic of another story.
-
- This is what it looked like by May of 2005. Just a few trees and bushes.The ladder was salvaged from a dangerous play gym that we took down.
-
- Samantha’s very own garden was put in May 2005. She wouldn’t stay out of mine and she liked to re-plant a lot!
-
- We added a bench to the back corner during the summer and this is some of what we got out of our garden.
-
- The beginning of a garden – June 2006.

- The birdbath adds a nice touch.
-
- This is the Tuscan Sun Rose just off the boat pad on the side yard.
-
- We had to get rid of the bunnies (allergies) so we got chickens instead! We converted a fort that was already in the back yard into a coop.
-
- This is a lovely knot of trailing purple verbena that I got from a friend at a plant swap. It is in front of a crepe mertyl that I got from my brother-in-law. Thanks again Charles!
