My Grandpa would be proud

One square foot of garden space - that is all I needed to grow the BEST tasting carrots. I took them to Family Dinner yesterday and everyone agreed, they taste so much better than store bought carrots. Later, my Daddy told me my Grandpa would have been proud of me.


The only thing is, my carrots don't all grow
 the same in that 1 square foot!
 
PS: 16 carrots made enough tops for 2 flower arrangements.  But I'm not sure what Grandpa would have thought of that.

Foggy AM at the garden

Remember the heavy fog on Feb 6th?  I wanted to photograph in the fog a beautifully huge, rounded tree above the terraces at the garden.  When I got to the first terrace and looked back toward Dallas Hwy, I quickly photo'd the house & garden. (Looks like we're growing two Conestoga Wagons, doesn't it?)  Anyway, as always happens, what I plan to photograph isn't nearly as interesting as what I stumble upon.  ;-)  Rita B.
