Welcome to our garden!
Welcome to our garden! Phil is a native Southern Californian. I made a cross country move for a job in Orange County, where we met and started dating. After living together for a while, we decided that we needed more elbow room. We didn't have to go far, and could even transfer within our company, to lovely San Diego. Some of our criteria for our new home included space for a dog and a garden. We ended up getting both! Since we moved in six months ago, we have build a raised bed, and rehabilitated a plot that had been used by the original owner (our landlord). We've had some trial and error - mostly learning how to keep our new rescue dog, Kona, from tearing up things due to his separation anxiety. Our raised bed was a quick weekend project, only two weeks after we moved in to our new home. Using 2 x 10 lumber, we framed out the bed in a patch of barren dirt next to the house's AC unit. We leveled out the boards, either by digging down into the dirt or raising them
