Front Yard Rain Garden
April 2012

After a day of making Home Visits it was good to have a day where I could spend some time in the gardens, planting, making castings, watering and pulling weeds. Of course there is always harvesting. For dinner I was able to pick herbs and lettuce for the salad and kale and collard greens for my ‘potato green’ vegetables. My wife suggested that I take monthly pictures of the gardens in the various stages. I have some pictures from March and April of a few of the gardens but can start next week on May through October.

Garden work might be endless but working in the garden easily shows visible results. Some work, especially in peace and resistance work, does not always show results. We need to work for something with or without results.

I took time out from working on my gardens to go across the street to my neighbors who is a pro in growing plants and who has an award winning garden in front of his house. (Picture to come). He grows plants from seeds and by splitting roots. Once a year, next Saturday, he has a major garden sale. This year he has a web page of all the garden plants he has to offer at Schuler Gardens.

Gardens in the front yard are become more common and to me seem, more natural, than grass. With Growing Power ways of growing, maximizing a small area for maximum growth yards, front and back are turning beautiful and fruitful. Yards are growing into Gardens.
