Bacopa from the center urn in the white garden. A

Bacopa from the center urn in the white garden.

As the seasons change, the light has changed, making the white garden mostly in shade. This bacopa will only last a little longer.

I'm planning to plant as many seeds as possible in the raised beds along the side of the garden in the backyard today. We're tearing up everything else soon, leaving me just a little room to plant my fall crops. I hope we can work quickly so that the new beds (and some of the old ones that we are changing up) will be able to be planted during our very short season for cool-season vegetables.

A little before and "after" from this past week. ("After" being the current state of the garden).

We've enjoyed this grass for 14 years, but it's time for a change.

I'm adding an allée of fruit trees right down the center of the garden.

The garden will be divided into several rooms, and each will grow food and flowers. The new beds will be watered with drip irrigation, like we do in our current beds.

We will significantly reduce our water usage while also increasing our harvest.

Be sure to follow along for updates!

Yesterday I planned what flowers I will be growing

Yesterday I planned what flowers I will be growing in the two center circles that will be the focal points of my new garden design. It's a space I can change each year. I had planned one circle and began planning the second when a new idea for a completely different look came into my head. I realized I can plant both of these circles completely with seeds I already have! I now have several ideas for these spaces. It's a good thing I can change them up each year!

It's supposed to be 94° here today. It's finally

It's supposed to be 94° here today. It's finally cool enough for the roses to start flowering again, but they only last about a day before burning. They're still worth growing!

In urn: White Drift rose, portulaca (back left side), and bacopa. Behind urn: White Iceberg Climbing roses

This pumpkin grew over the hedge and onto the wall

This pumpkin grew over the hedge and onto the wall in my front yard! Now it's sitting there for everyone to see!

There's a new blog post up on the blog with lots of photos! Link in bio.
