Hey YOU!
You might or might not know that I am living in a major city on the East Coast ... yeah, lucky me! NOT! I will not name the city, but if you read the name of my blog, you might get the hint!
I am not here to tell you all about the crime, the parking, the noise, the smells or whatever else is wrong with city life, but I am here to tell you all about my little sanctuary in the middle of this concrete jungle ....
my backyard!!!!
I have a few neighbors who for one or the other reason want to kill every green little leaf that is growing within a mile of their home! WHHHYYYY???? "Well, there are fleas in those bushes" was one reply I received. "The racoons can't hide if I cut all the vines off my fence" was another. Thats when I stopped asking..
Yes, my backyard was just a small slap of concrete with a raggedy bare wire fence (that's just what the previous owner wanted) No, there is really nothing I could do about the concrete, but my fence isn't bare any longer! Of course my neighbors hate me for letting things grow, but I am loving it!!
I have butterflies and bees visiting my yard .. I have green all around me! I enjoy the smell of my Lavender, Honeysuckle, Lemon Thyme, Sage and Rosemary. Last year I grew some cucumbers and this year I have Cherry Tomatoes and Jalapenos and hopefully some Honeydew Watermelon later this summer.
