We had about 60 seconds of rain here this week! I ran outside right away to capture it before it was gone!

At no point did the concrete ever get completely wet. This is pretty normal for here. I'm so thankful for drip irrigation.

The white garden is in full bloom today!

I'm sharing a different perspective this time.

An update on the garden, construction mess and all

An update on the garden, construction mess and all:

Getting things ready means having a lot out all the time but we are taking advantage of every moment we can to progress in the garden.

Yesterday, on Earth Day, I was planting fruit trees and we had people here setting the concrete forms. There will be concrete paths where there were grass paths, as well as where there was a larger grass area for the children to run and play. We will just have to play a little differently now on the paths (There will be still be grass under the swings, around the merry-go-round, and right around the trampoline).

The center rectangular planter that you see in the photo (and its twin behind the circle) will both be planted with Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard. I'll have food and flowers throughout my potager.

The white garden is blooming so beautifully this morning! Festiva Maxima peonies (next year I will stake them), Iceberg roses, artichokes, calla lilies, snapdragons, and honeysuckle! There are apricots on my Katy apricot tree that will be ready next month and peaches on my Early Elberta that will be ripe in July.

This is my front yard in the desert. The entire garden is watered on drip irrigation for 3 minutes at a time, 3 times a day, and 3 days a week right now.

When the backyard is done being made over, it will be in this same style. It will, of course, take several years to grow in. We redid this garden 8 years ago.
