They Tell Me I'm 'Off the Wall.'

Vertical is the way to go I say. So GARDEN UP! Check out this cool DIY Vertical Garden blog entry by Garden Tips and Ideas... Most of us live our lives looking down at our feet .......I say LOOK UP! Check it out! Your little space has tons of extra room right there. Look outside of the flat surface. Check out Patrick Blanc and his vertical garden art. Beautiful website. So think outside. Think. Create. Do. Be. See. Live......... :) My thoughts on this awesome day in Seattle.

15-Minute Workout - That's Fit

I know this isn't garden related, but this workout is the best one I've seen in awhile. Easy to understand and do. Wanted to have it on my list of things to do before I go out to the garden.

Create a garden EVERYWHERE!


Ok. So last year I blogged about the cement area in my apartment building that I found one day that no one -other than the manager knows about. I was told that nothing would grow back there....well it gets sun for 5-7 hours a day during the summer !

Here's a photo:


I wish I had a 'before' picture. Trash strewn around. And now.........my secret garden.

So my advice: Look around your living space. Is there a corner, an exit that leads outside?

Gardens can be anywhere...........
