AUGUST..VEGGIE GARDEN & PLANS FOR A SECRET GARDEN

WE ARE ENJOYING OUR VEGETABLE GARDEN, BUT..........Can you see how much unused property we have in our back yard? Where are all those home and garden improvement people who want to do your yard for free and you get to be on television?!!!! Not going to happen, I know, but I can dream can't I. We do have ideas brewing in our heads about turning our sandy dirt into a secret garden. It may take us a few years, John's big garage should come first and it might take up a lot of the space. A small veggie & flower garden sounds good to me.

We checked out Thanksgiving Point where they have beautiful gardens, we loved their secret garden, here are a few pictures of it.




We want our garden to have lots of colorful perennials and or course some kind of water feature with a bridge.......are we over doing it?










It would be nice to also have some sort of entrance
into our garden. These are pictures of the entrance into the
Secret Garden at Thanksgiving point.















The 13th East project is still going on in our neighborhood, they are suppose to build a wall in our back yard as part of their beautification project. We are excited to have a wall for aesthetic reasons as well as privacy. I would like to have ivy growing on our walls.



We took Dresden and Logan with us to Thanksgiving Point and when we were at the water conservation garden we met up with Natalie, Collin and Sydney.

















While at Sandy's water conservation garden, we and got a lot of ideas, we took tons of pictures at both places, to help our memory. It's a big dream, but we hope we can complete it someday.
