RE: weather

We have 2 1/2 acres. Probably half of it we just leave alone; we have a few
sheep and they can get some exercise out there. There isn't enough grass or
anything to provide grazing (except in spring) so it's just extra room for
them. The front yard is mostly filled with garden by now. I have the
teahouse garden on one side, an attempt at a cottage garden in front of the
house, and on the other side is a dry garden with a lot of desert-adapted
plants. Right behind the house is some lawn and my pond, a little farther
out is the vegetable garden, the chicken coop and sheep pens, and then just
open area. And I have a little greenhouse on the south side.
It's sure nice to have this much room but I don't know how people in more
verdant areas manage it. It's all I can do to keep up with everything, and
at my place stuff only grows where we water it. I can't imagine how you
could keep up with even 1/2 acre if plants could just grow wherever they
wanted.

Cyndi, Thanks for sharing the pictures of your garden.  I wasn't able to
view them from my office computer so I just got to them now.  In addition to
the oriental (is Asian more pc now?) garden, it looks like you have quite a
bit of room.  How much?

Kitty
