When I moved into the Rose Cottage PNW, I acquired a very large garden space. I didn't have much chance to give a go at gardening last summer, so the garden grew pretty wild for quite a long time. It's a bit overwhelming to have so much space and no real idea of what to do with it besides tear it all up.
Nearly all my friends here have amazing gardens and yards and if I'm going to have these people over for garden parties, I need to have a functioning garden. So, that's what I did - I tore up nearly everything minus the rosemary bush, the yaku princess rhododendron, the sage and the lavender bush. And then I planted everything that sounded either delicious or fun.

Looks lovely, dahling. I was just getting ready to post a new blog post and was debating some pics of the garden. Yours is too gorg and puts my pcis to shame so we'll have to do redone chairs instead. Can't wait to try the poopcorn!
