A
little preamble about our garden: The original owner of this
property ( 20+ years ago ) was a dedicated gardener. Most all of
what we have here was created and planted or built by him. The
intervening years have seen two other owners neither of whom displayed
the dedication to this property that he had. Thus when we moved
here April '05 a great deal of pruning and cleanup was (and is)
required, In some cases - simply to find out what is here as the grass was
so high one had to search carefully for the plants and clip around them
before attacking the grass. :-)) This bin was absolutely
packed tight with prunings and we've burned equally as much.

These
pages will be our logbook and record of what we've done & have yet
to do. Given
our 'ever advancing years' its our intention to plant
"low maintenance" with the exception
of one or two
areas. We don't want to see the garden fall into disrepair again
however
the time will come when
the knees and backs will be
too creaky
to
engage in heavy duty gardening.
