Summer of 1996

The first few years we lived here at the apartment building where Jeff superintends, we did have some soil outside the window - eventually that was taken up when the new parking lot was put in.

 -

Guess you can tell I'm about to tell one of my long winded stories, eh? Well, I'll see how much I can tell this morning.

Most of this will be what I call the 'Table Garden'.

Hibiscus - 1997

 -

We didn't do too well with that one - it only lasted a few weeks.

2001

 -

I was into a little experimenting then . . . always trying to grow some wild thing I'd collected . . . just like I am now.

(At the end of '86 I collected a wild thing, took it home with me - he wouldn't leave so I married him . . . Jeff)

Here's more of that 2001 table . . .

2002

Mini Rose Bushes


I don't think a year has gone by that we didn't get one of these - we never manage to bring them through till the following spring though - we'll see what happens this year.

Growing Clover - 2002

I went bananas and started growing some clover I'd found in a pot - ended up getting a picture of my full pot published in a magazine called 'things' along with an article

Needless to say, I was right proud of myself . . .

Table Garden Rose - 2k2

 -

You can imagine my modesty with this one.

I do have some 2003 photos of some work I did on the lot itself - 2k3 was the first time I actually worked on the front lot.

The reasons I didn't work on it before that is a long story - more than you need to know.
