A Garden Grows in Colorado - a photo journal

The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for him there. ~George Bernard Shaw ----- Gardens are a form of autobiography. ~Sydney Eddison ----- Earth laughs in flowers. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson ----- People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us. ~Iris Murdoch

History

In September 2004, I dug up the sod covering the front yard using a pick axe. Then, I covered the dirt with newspaper (a biodegradeable weed barrier) and a thick layer of bark mulch. Finally, I planted a few xeric shrubs, prayed that they would survive the winter and hoped for the best. In 2005, I planted scores of plants - most purchased from High Country Gardens, some generous gifts from gardening friends. In 2006, I added the stepping stones on the left (made from recycled tires), a few shrubs and, in the fall, scores of bulbs - mainly daffodils and allium. In 2007, I realized that I am running out of space and added only a few plants. Mature perennials are large - my garden is getting crowded!
