Please activate the Breadcrumb-NavXT. Plug-in to use the section. Here are some ideas that other garden and design bloggers. Have shared and that I hope to shamelessly copy:. These outdoor lights can help define and illuminate almost any outside patio, deck or space. After reading about them on the blog, The Grackle. We hung our own out back and love them. (We also put dimmers on them.) The Grackle has a post on these lights. That shares the web site that sells them at good prices. I thought these were a...

The Not So Big Garden: Dry Creek Bed
http://notsobiggarden.blogspot.com/2012/01/dry-creek-bed.html
The Not So Big Garden. Friday, January 27, 2012. This was last fall. This was last December. I pulled up more grass, and just kept digging, so I have a depression at one end (the visual end of the creek) and the "creek" then going alongside our house. The creek bed's shape is being designed by our kids, as they discover where they like the water to go or not go. It will be a slow process, but I'm liking the joy I find in this slowness.

The Not So Big Garden: April 2012
http://notsobiggarden.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The Not So Big Garden. Sunday, April 29, 2012. A friend gave me some winecups, these are called, at the start of Spring. Each plant bursts out of one point in the ground, and spreads out above in beautiful symmetry, one stalk remaining overhead. Just delightful. It's hard to capture the symmetry in a photo. It's like a little burst of pink fireworks. And of course I have to raise a toast to our annual sunflower visitors. Now at least 7 feet tall. Friday, April 13, 2012. We potted a poinsettia last Christ...

The Not So Big Garden: Springtime in the Fall
http://notsobiggarden.blogspot.com/2012/10/springtime-in-fall.html
The Not So Big Garden. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Springtime in the Fall. An iris thinks it's Easter. And here are some updated pics of the dry creek bed I'm building. It's sort of on hold while we wait for the city's approval to build a little second residence in the back yard. Its plumbing may have to go right through where my creek is. A Turk's Cap, above. These grow like weeds here. Best in part shade. They hold up around a lot of child's play too. April 8, 2013 at 9:55 AM. Welcome to our Xeriscape.

Something About Blooming and Butterflies: June 2006
http://vivesgarden.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Something About Blooming and Butterflies. All work and no play? Not in the springtime! Tuesday, June 13, 2006. Chris offers a cornucopia via photo. On his first night back, he and Annabella ate pizza from the freezer and veggies from the garden. There are record temps at home, so everything is crispy and already I'm hearing how arduous it is to water everyday. And yet he persists. Posted by Vivé at 9:45 PM. Monday, June 05, 2006. The Second-Hardest Thing About Leaving. Posted by Vivé at 6:16 AM. The Tran...

Something About Blooming and Butterflies: April 2007
http://vivesgarden.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Something About Blooming and Butterflies. All work and no play? Not in the springtime! Monday, April 30, 2007. I haven't been gardening long enough to have beds full of plants shared with me, or at least I didn't think I had been. The wonderful gardening tradition of passing along divided irises and wildflower seeds and drought-loving natives gone crazy in the ground is still new to me. She thought about it and said, "Yes, I did have a jasmine." We realized she'd given it to me when she moved away. One e...
