We tilled the west corner of the lot to make way for our first stab at a legitimate garden. So far we have tomatoes, basil, spinach, lettuce & cilantro planted with more to come.
The garden seemed too far at first, especially when all we had was a green plastic watering can but with the hose in place it seems to be shaping into a nice little corner. I think I read once that Glen Murcutt the famous Australian architect took his class to see the site they were to design on. He asked them “What’s the best place to site the new building?”, they all responded that it was at the top of the hill overlooking the entire site. Then he asked them where they would not put the building, and they answered “In the corner of the site by the swamp.” And that was exactly where he assigned them to design the building. In a similar way we thought the garden should be in a neglected corner of the site.
