    I am a 78 year old g.grandmother and there is no place I would rather be than in my Eden. My Creator gave me hands to work and heart to love the garden. Time in it is my worship back to Him. I am inspirationally amazed at what you have done with extreme adverse conditions. I enjoy your videos. Please continue to post for me and others like me.

    Yes yes yes yes.... My family gets sick of hearing about the garden and my friends look at me like I'm nuts... neighbors can care less... by the looks of their lawn! I know the feeling! Your lawn is gorgeous and you have a great eye for making an interesting and beautiful landscape! I bought my home about 4 years ago and it was a clean canvas for me to work my magic and use my imagination!

    Good job on you dry beds and water retention. I too had that in my yard necessitating a dry river bed in the back yard. We live on my husband's homestead and working small farm. So I too had a blank canvas with one tree. And because we only have a well, most everything had to be drought tolerant. Lots of trial and error. We've had an excessive amount of rain this year with the river bed working perfectly draining off to the pasture and tank. It is hard to think you've only been gardening about 5 years. I'm really enjoying your tours. My sister has joined on too.
    Your garden is gorgeous!
