My daughter told me i should blog more...And i admit have been a bit spotty lately...But honestly, i have been so busy with the gardening that i just haven't had enough time to do much else! For the first time in years i have become so excited about rebuilding my gardens again. I lost many old plant friends these last few years due to some heavy construction work, but now that it is finished and the coast is clear, i have decided to start fresh by adding some new friends. I break my gardens up into different sections and they all have different requirements. This is my deck garden....
The deck has a southern exposure, with some shade... Here i have some of my hearty bonsai mixed in with some veggies and herbs. The pot on the deck floor in the front is a blueberry bush i am training for bonsai....
But before i start trimming the branches, i think i will let the blueberries ripen! Yum!
Here is my mini leaf Linden and a Japanese maple.
my Japanese pagoda tree and a Zelkova
and a juniper bonsai and a boxwood in training....
Here is one of Samson Contampasis' sculptures that i have in my gardens. You can read more about Sam and his work here ..This is just a little peek at the deck garden because i have so much more work to do! I have a few empty pots waiting for more patio tomato plants from the Farmer's Market, and maybe some more herbs too...And more geraniums. Next garden up is the Front garden...
