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.

2003

Still Growing That Clover





High time I get on with that 2004 Table Garden.

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.
