Southern sun


Christmas greenhouse, my husband will build it. And in the little house will be vegetables, herbs, flowers & shrubs, paints & an iPod, attempts at native plantings, and me.

Southern exposure, and traveling light on the top of this Blue Ridge foothill from west, east and north. 

Down a short hill, through Great White's yard, the little garden with slowly developing terraces. Everyone's tomatoes were terrible after the cold spring of a year soon to be gone, but the asparagus and peppers were lovely. And the grapes, luxuriant enough that this year I must design a rough arbor. 

First, the building project, then the dirt, real and imagined.
