My New Garden


March, Starting to build the Garden. Three brick terraces,and earth floor area divided by a wall, and an enclosed garden house.  The bricks were bought ten years ago from a failed American company and bought for the price of having the dump truck load them up and dump them here. 
 
The garden has  20 meters [65 feet] of glass walls to keep out the dogs, let the sunshine in and see the view. The glass is from second hand patio style doors, and were free. In the back ground is the ocean and the islands out front in the mist.
 Now the garden is near finished. This is the first terrace. Most all the plants will be in containers.

The Pathway down into the garden from the house. A part of the brick area is simi shaded with a net roof. The stripped wall is a canvas , but will soon be a rock wall from rocks collected all over this area. 


Yellow Crookneck Squash Blossom
This is the brick area, for plants in containers, and working and sitting space.  Behind is the earth floor area.  There is a large asparagus patch there, and my honeysuckle, star jasmine, boganvilla, and monkey flower vine.  Many of the young vegtables and flowers that require much light are here. The beans are growing up on bamboo stocks.
The wall dividing the brick area and walkway from the earth floor area. The wall is excellent for sitting pots on top of for all day sun.
Two Squash plants on the dividing wall. Today I think one squash will be big enough to eat




 The three terraces, nothing has been placed on the top one yet, but the first two are filling up

At the far end of the garden is The Garden Room, which is to be a work shop and maybe a small hydorponic garden for lettuce. It is alsoa  place to sit comfortable out of the weather and view the garden. I finaly got to put my solid piece of black slate to use, as a strong table.
