As we build our personal retreat in the backyard, we seem to just go with the moment and build/add whatever feels right.
For example, last summer my son and his family moved from Ontario across the country to British Columbia. They left behind a small fountain that they had in their backyard. “Sure, I’ll take it”, I said, wanting a fountain but having no idea where it would go in our acre piece of land.
This spring we decided that we would put it in the ground: just ma...

InspirationOne of the best ways to get ideas for our garden is to visit other’s gardens. In this blog I will post some of my favorites near and far.
Kew GardensSummer of 2006 we traveled to Europe and visited several incredible gardens. Kew is located just outside of London, a short ride on the tube. We only spent a few hours there but would most surely return. The gardens were huge and it was virtually impossible to see all of it in a day.

I’ve been growing a few veggies the past few years on a mound of leftover soil in the backyard. I decided it was time to find a tidy way to maximize my space and grow more efficiently for next year….square foot gardening.
From what I have read, square foot gardening looks like the best way to grow a bountiful crop with little to no weeds, less soil, less critters, less work and more veggies!
The square-foot gardening concept is simple: Build a raised bed, divide the space i...

Well is was a good day for working outside. A little cloudy, a little sunny, a few drizzles, but nothing to make it unbearable.
I failed to take pictures of the straight bench being made, but, here it is.

My property used to be a farm, and has s...
