Cait's Garden

Like many things in life, sometimes gardens run amuck due to adversity or change and one must start over. Both in the garden and in the garden blog.  My garden does not quite look like this anymore. We took down the big tree in the back. My main garden in the foreground was pretty much decimated due to the installation of a new patio. And if that wasn’t enough, global warming has apparently contributed to mild-enough winters for a bumper crop of invasive weeds. Things have gotten out of hand. As I look out on the bleak spring landscape, with just the slightest mounds of green (half of which are weeds), it seems daunting at best. I have to remember that when I moved to this house, there was literally nothing in this yard except for trees, weeds, and mud. I reclaimed it once, I can do it again. The trick is to tackle just one small space at a time. The only way out is through!
