The "5-year" plan

When we moved into our house in 2005, we had agreed that it was a 5 year plan. In five years, the house would be painted and landscaped to our tastes. It would be done...

It's 2011.
The projects are never-ending, we have a dirt mound in our driveway the size of a suburban, It's dark out and we're still working... hit it.

Welcome to our journal about dirt, gardens and beer.

Time to reflect in your garden

DESIGN TIP:  When used correctly, mirrors can visually extend a small area.  They can be framed with climbing plants or taller shrubs to soften their harsh edges.  Just make sure to use tempered glass so that is safe against the elements.  You can also coat the back of a mirror with varnish to help protect it.  Consider mounting it on a fence or wall to make your space seem larger, this is especially useful in shadier areas of your landscape/garden.
