Here at Foggygates we are just beginning to get things under control. The first year here was devoted to unpacking and figuring out where the hell we were. Year 2 was devoted to starting to establish some gardens and whack back the weeds and woods (4 acres of it out back) and this, the third year, is the first year I really feel as if we are making headway.
Even Audrey would be impressed.
We hit two garden club sales this past Saturday, discovered a rare woods wildflower yesterday, and have plans to do four more sales this coming Saturday. I also created a new Victorian CroquetCue area where we can sip gin and tonics while waiting to take our turn whacking a wooden ball through a hoop, and am working on a fern garden for the front, and a wall garden for the back.
Next week we turn our attention to vegetables.
I have a few pictures to share in a day or so. I'm hoping that will make everybody, including Audrey, happy...

Sounds wonderful. And I'm convinced that dirt has magical properties, so I totally understand.
Sounds like fun actually. When my wife and I first moved into our house in Michigan it took us several years to get things the way we wanted them. I am perfectly happy with the way things are now. My wife, on the other hand, spends all of her time moving things around from one garden to another.
I guess gardening work is never done.
Phoebe- well, actually...
Mike- yes, gardening is a lot like bookselling. You can never have too many books or too many plants. After a while gardeners just move them from garden to garden, and booksellers just keep selling them back and forth to each other over and over.
That's so cool! I love being right and not even knowing it!
Does Ms. Tatou qualify as vegetable, fruit or fowl?
J.A.P.
J.S.P.- Well, she's certainly a tomato, so I suppose that would be fruit.
