Love in the Dirt

There are no rose-coloured glasses in the garden.

When we told my father-in-law that we were putting Schoolhouse Rocks on the market, his response was exactly what I needed to hear. "Well," he said, "it looked like everything was done there, anyway."

In other words: what will the next project be?

Very generous of him, as he'd helped me realise a lot of the things I wanted in the garden: the chicken run, the veranda on the cottage, the gate to the woods and the world's biggest privately-owned arbour (I like to think).

Bedankt, Pa!

Good question, though. What WILL the next project be? Edible Front Garden? Urban Farm? Contraband chickens? I don't know, but in the meantime I'm getting my work here properly recorded and captioned.

Straight lines are so boring.

My first attempt can be found here: School House Rocks. Have a gander and tell me what you think. Tell me what your projects for 2014 are, too! I'd love to steal them ;)
