Carla of A Mellow Life, graciously asked about the layout of our garden. That’s actually kind of a tricky question because we have attempted to make most of our lot into garden space. We have several seating areas throughout the garden, raised beds, a fire pit and a couple of more formal gardening plots. The two more formal/defined spots incorporate square foot gardening and permaculture. Take a look:

Spiral Garden with walkway
- Keyhole garden seating area
- Greenhouse with loquat, lemon and grapefruit trees
- Blueberries down from compost bin
- Compost bin behind spiral garden area
- Back garden incorporating square foot design
- Spiral Garden with walkway
- Raised beds beneath clothesline

Be still my heart! I had a feeling it would be lovely, but not breathtaking! I will be taking my time and pour over each photo. Thank you, Becca! You do live in a fairy land:)

Have the rains made it a jungle yet? That looks so much better than the squares. I know you will get better results with this design.
